Language:

Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2024:1777-1 advisory.

 PostgreSQL upgrade to version 15.7 (bsc#1224051):

 - CVE-2024-4317: Fixed visibility restriction of pg_stats_ext and pg_stats_ext_exprs entries to the table owner (bsc#1224038).

 Bug fixes:

 - Fix incompatibility with LLVM 18.
 - Prepare for PostgreSQL 17.
 - Make sure all compilation and doc generation happens in %build.
 - Require LLVM <= 17 for now, because LLVM 18 doesn't seem to work.
 - Remove constraints file because improved memory usage for s390x
 - Use %patch -P N instead of deprecated %patchN.

 Release notes:

 - https://www.postgresql.org/docs/release/15.7/

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

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.
