Synopsis

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

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2025:1149-1 advisory.

- CVE-2024-44192: Fixed unexpected process crash due to processing maliciously crafted web content (bsc#1239863)
- CVE-2024-54467: Fixed information disclosure via data cross-origin exfiltration due to a cookie management issue (bsc#1239864)

Other fixes:

- Update to version 2.48.0:
- Move tiles rendering to worker threads when rendering with the GPU.
- Fix preserve-3D intersection rendering.
- Added new function for creating Promise objects to JavaScripotCore GLib API.
- The MediaRecorder backend gained WebM support (requires at least GStreamer 1.24.9) and audio bitrate configuration support.
- Fix invalid DPI-aware font size conversion.
- Bring back support for OpenType-SVG fonts using Skia SVG module.
- Add metadata (title and creation/modification date) to the PDF document generated for printing.
- Propagate the fonts computed locale to HarfBuzz.
- The GPU process build is now enabled for WebGL, but the web process is still used by default. The runtime flag UseGPUProcessForWebGL can be used to use the GPU process for WebGL.
- Security fixes: CVE-2024-44192, CVE-2024-54467, CVE-2025-24201.
- Disable speech synthesis. It has been disabled until now, and we don't have flite or spiel in SLE.
- Add gcc13-PIE to BuildRequires (bsc#1239950).
- Backport upstream patch to stop using IOChannel in NetworkCache: hopefully fixes crashes in the network process.

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 packages.
