Synopsis

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

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2025:1094-1 advisory.

warewulf4 was updated from version 4.5.8 to 4.6.0:

- Security issues fixed for version 4.6.0:

* CVE-2025-22869: Fixed Denial of Service vulnerability in the Key Exchange of golang.org/x/crypto/ssh (bsc#1239322)
* CVE-2025-22870: Fixed proxy bypass using IPv6 zone IDs (bsc#1238611)

- User visible changes:

* Default values `nodes.conf`:

- The default values for `kernel command line`, `init parameters` and `root` are now set in the `default` profile and this profileshould be included in every profile.
During the installation of an update an upgrade is done to `nodes.conf` which updates the database accordingly.

* Overlay split up:

- The overlays `wwinit` and `runtime` are now split up in different overlays named according to their role.
The upgrade process will update the node database and replace the overlays `wwinit` and `runtime` with a list of overlays with same role.

* Site and distribution overlays:

- The overlays in `/var/lib/warewulf/overlays` should not be changed by the user any more.
Site specific overlays are now sorted under `/etc/warewulf/overlays`.
On upgrade, changed overlays are stored with the `rpmsave` suffix and move to `/etc/warewulf/overlays/$OVERLAYNAME`.

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
