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-2024:3200-1 advisory.

- CVE-2024-6923: Fixed email header injection due to unquoted newlines (bsc#1228780)

Other fixes:
- %{profileopt} variable is set according to the variable %{do_profiling} (bsc#1227999)
- Stop using %%defattr, it seems to be breaking proper executable attributes on /usr/bin/ scripts (bsc#1227378)

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