False Positive: Incorrect Docker Version Detection (openSUSE: Security Advisory SUSE-SU-2024:4360-1)

Our Greenbone scanner reports a security vulnerability for Docker on openSUSE Leap 15.5/15.6 based on Security Advisory SUSE-SU-2024:4360-1.
The installed version (docker-26.1.5_ce-150000.212.1) is flagged as vulnerable, while the “fixed” version (docker-26.1.5.ce-150000.212.1) appears to be identical according to the advisory.

Details:

  • Installed version: docker-26.1.5_ce-150000.212.1
  • Fixed version: docker-26.1.5.ce-150000.212.1
  • Scanner OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.856863
  • Scan date: February 12, 2025
  • Affected system: openSUSE Leap 15.5/15.6

The only visible difference is the underscore _ce vs. dot .ce in the version number. Since openSUSE itself uses _ce in its package naming, this appears to be an incorrect version detection by the scanner.

Expected Behavior:
The scanner should recognize docker-26.1.5_ce-150000.212.1 as patched, as it matches the latest version available in the official SUSE repositories.

Could you please verify whether this is a false positive or if there is another explanation for this detection?

Thank you for your support!

Hi @ApiDevMarc,
this is indeed a false positive, which we have resolved with the latest feed update (version 202502260646).
Let me know, if that issue is resolved for you :slight_smile:
