The SuSEfirewall2 package before 3.6.312-2.13.1 in SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLE) Desktop 12 SP2, Server 12 SP2, and Server for Raspberry Pi 12 SP2; before 3.6.312.333-3.10.1 in SLE Desktop 12 SP3 and Server 12 SP3; before 3.6_SVNr208-2.18.3.1 in SLE Server 11 SP4; before 3.6.312-5.9.1 in openSUSE Leap 42.2; and before 3.6.312.333-7.1 in openSUSE Leap 42.3 might allow remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions on the portmap service by leveraging a missing source net restriction for _rpc_ services.
This vulnerability carries a MEDIUM severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 score of 6.5, indicating it can be exploited remotely over the network with relatively low complexity without requiring user interaction and does not require pre-existing privileges . The vulnerability impacts limited data confidentiality, and limited availability for affected systems. Impacting 5 products from suse, from opensuse, from suse and 2 others, organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.
First disclosed in 2017, this vulnerability was reported during a period defined by widespread IoT adoption challenges, mobile security concerns, and the emergence of advanced persistent threat (APT) techniques. Contemporary mitigation strategies focused on secure development practices and third-party component vetting.

SecUtils normalizes and enriches National Vulnerability Database (NVD) records by standardizing vendor and product identifiers, aggregating vulnerability metadata from both NVD and MITRE sources, and providing structured context for security teams. For suse's affected products, we extract Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) data, Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) classifications, CVSS severity metrics, and reference data to enable rapid vulnerability prioritization and asset correlation. This record contains no exploit code, proof-of-concept instructions, or attack methodologies—only defensive intelligence necessary for patch management, risk assessment, and security operations.
