high Nessus Plugin ID 225811

Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2025:0775-1 advisory.

 - CVE-2025-27144: Fixed denial of service in parsing function of embedded library Go JOSE (bsc#1237641)
 - CVE-2024-9676: github.com/containers/storage: Fixed symlink traversal vulnerability in the containers/storage library can cause Denial of Service (DoS) (bsc#1231698)
 - CVE-2024-9675: Fixed cache arbitrary directory mount in buildah (bsc#1231499)
 - CVE-2024-9407: Fixed Improper Input Validation in bind-propagation Option of Dockerfile RUN --mount Instruction in buildah (bsc#1231208)
 - CVE-2024-9341: cri-o: FIPS Crypto-Policy Directory Mounting Issue in containers/common Go Library (bsc#1231230)
 - CVE-2024-1753: Fixed full container escape at build time in buildah (bsc#1221677)
 - CVE-2024-11218: Fixed a container breakout by using --jobs=2 and a race condition when building a malicious Containerfile. (bsc#1236270)
 - CVE-2024-6104: Fixed hashicorp/go-retryablehttp writing sensitive information to log files (bsc#1227052)
 - CVE-2023-45288: Fixed golang.org/x/net/http2 excessive resource consumption when receiving too many headers (bsc#1236507)


 - Load ip_tables and ip6_tables kernel module (bsc#1214612)
 * Required for rootless mode as a regular user has no permission to load kernel modules


 - Refactor network backend dependencies:
 * podman requires either netavark or cni-plugins. On ALP, require netavark, otherwise prefer netavark but don't force it.
 * This fixes missing cni-plugins in some scenarios
 * Default to netavark everywhere where it's available

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

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

Solution

Update the affected podman and / or podman-remote packages.
