Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE-SU-SUSE-RU-2025:0800-1 advisory.

- Fix spelling of BSD-2-Clause license.
- Update to 0.44.0:
- The real license is BSD 2-Clause, not MIT.
- Remove python-M2Crypto.keyring, because PyPI broke GPG support
- Build for modern python stack on SLE/Leap
- require setuptools
- Make tests running again.
- Remove unnecessary fdupes call
- Add python-typing as a dependency
- SLE12 requires swig3 for a successful build, too

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 python3-M2Crypto package.
