The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE- SU-2024:2149-1 advisory.
This update for the Linux Kernel 5.3.18-150200_24_191 fixes one issue.
The following security issue was fixed:
- CVE-2023-1829: Fixed a use-after-free vulnerability in the control index filter (tcindex) (bsc#1210619).
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.
