The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2021:2546-1 advisory.

  - An invalid pointer initialization issue was found in the SLiRP networking implementation of QEMU. The flaw     exists in the bootp_input() function and could occur while processing a udp packet that is smaller than     the size of the 'bootp_t' structure. A malicious guest could use this flaw to leak 10 bytes of     uninitialized heap memory from the host. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data     confidentiality. This flaw affects libslirp versions prior to 4.6.0. (CVE-2021-3592)

  - An invalid pointer initialization issue was found in the SLiRP networking implementation of QEMU. The flaw     exists in the udp6_input() function and could occur while processing a udp packet that is smaller than the     size of the 'udphdr' structure. This issue may lead to out-of-bounds read access or indirect host memory     disclosure to the guest. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality. This flaw     affects libslirp versions prior to 4.6.0. (CVE-2021-3593)

  - An invalid pointer initialization issue was found in the SLiRP networking implementation of QEMU. The flaw     exists in the tftp_input() function and could occur while processing a udp packet that is smaller than the     size of the 'tftp_t' structure. This issue may lead to out-of-bounds read access or indirect host memory     disclosure to the guest. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality. This flaw     affects libslirp versions prior to 4.6.0. (CVE-2021-3595)

  - A stack overflow vulnerability was found in the Intel HD Audio device (intel-hda) of QEMU. A malicious     guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of service     condition. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. This flaw affects QEMU     versions prior to 7.0.0. (CVE-2021-3611)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
