Synopsis

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES11 / SLES_SAP11 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2021:14753-1 advisory.

- In SaltStack Salt 2016.9 through 3002.6, a command injection vulnerability exists in the snapper module that allows for local privilege escalation on a minion. The attack requires that a file is created with a pathname that is backed up by snapper, and that the master calls the snapper.diff function (which executes popen unsafely). (CVE-2021-31607)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
