CERT-FR flags multiple vulnerabilities in SUSE products, including remote code execution and privilege escalation
CERT-FR published advisory CERTFR-2026-AVI-1372 on 23 October 2026 covering multiple vulnerabilities in SUSE products. According to the advisory, some of the flaws allow an attacker to achieve remote arbitrary code execution, privilege escalation and a breach of data confidentiality. The advisory also lists data integrity impact and security policy bypass. The affected scope is broad: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP5 through 16.0, the SAP Applications, High Performance Computing, Real Time, Micro, Live Patching and Desktop editions, and several modules. The advisory lists well over 100 CVEs, mostly from 2026, and does not report active exploitation.

CERT-FR advisory CERTFR-2026-AVI-1372 (23 October 2026) bundles well over 100 CVEs, mostly from 2026, across SUSE products. According to CERT-FR, some allow remote arbitrary code execution, privilege escalation and a breach of data confidentiality. The advisory also lists data integrity impact and security policy bypass. The listed products include SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP5, 15 SP4 to SP7 and 16.0, plus the SAP Applications, High Performance Computing, Real Time, Micro, Live Patching, Desktop, High Availability, Workstation Extension and some module editions. The advisory does not map impacts to individual CVEs, give CVSS scores or name affected components or fixed versions; these are in the SUSE bulletins. The story notes the CVE list may be truncated.
Como funciona
The advisory does not describe how any individual flaw works, so the mechanism cannot be stated from the available material. It only groups the impact categories (remote code execution, privilege escalation, confidentiality and integrity compromise, security policy bypass) without saying which input reaches which component. The details are in the individual SUSE bulletins, which the advisory references.
Por que é vulnerável
The advisory gives no root cause for any of the CVEs, nor why they went unnoticed or what each fix changes. CERT-FR marks the vendor's detail as unspecified. The fixes are delivered as SUSE security updates for each product version.
Como foi descoberta
CERT-FR published the advisory on 23 October 2026 as a roundup of SUSE security bulletins: SUSE-SU-2026:24179-1, 24181-1, 24184-1 and 24235-1 (12 October 2026), and a series from SUSE-SU-2026:4693-1 (16 October) to SUSE-SU-2026:4871-1 (22 October 2026). The articles do not say who found the individual flaws or how they were reported. The story says the advisory does not report active exploitation.
