Synopsis

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

- CVE-2009-0689: Remote attackers could cause a denial of service and possibly arbitrary code execution through the string-to-double parser implementation (bsc#958097)

- CVE-2012-3543: Remote attackers could cause a denial of service through increased CPU consumption due to lack of protection against predictable hash collisions when processing form parameters (bsc#739119)
