Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the openSUSE- SU-2024:0037-1 advisory.

- An issue was discovered in Mbed TLS 2.x before 2.28.7 and 3.x before 3.5.2. There was a timing side channel in RSA private operations. This side channel could be sufficient for a local attacker to recover the plaintext. It requires the attacker to send a large number of messages for decryption, as described in Everlasting ROBOT: the Marvin Attack by Hubert Kario. (CVE-2024-23170)

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