The remote SUSE Linux SUSE15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2021:1142-1 advisory.

  - arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_rtas.c in the Linux kernel through 5.13.5 on the powerpc platform allows KVM guest     OS users to cause host OS memory corruption via rtas_args.nargs, aka CID-f62f3c20647e. (CVE-2021-37576)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel's IEEE 802.15.4 wireless networking     subsystem in the way the user closes the LR-WPAN connection. This flaw allows a local user to crash the     system. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2021-3659)

  - A lack of CPU resource in the Linux kernel tracing module functionality in versions prior to 5.14-rc3 was     found in the way user uses trace ring buffer in a specific way. Only privileged local users (with     CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability) could use this flaw to starve the resources causing denial of service.
    (CVE-2021-3679)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the ARM SIGPAGE functionality of Linux Kernel v5.4.66     and v5.4.54. The latest version (5.11-rc4) seems to still be vulnerable. A userland application can read     the contents of the sigpage, which can leak kernel memory contents. An attacker can read a process's     memory at a specific offset to trigger this vulnerability. This was fixed in kernel releases: 4.14.222     4.19.177 5.4.99 5.10.17 5.11 (CVE-2021-21781)

  - An issue was discovered in Linux: KVM through Improper handling of VM_IO|VM_PFNMAP vmas in KVM can bypass     RO checks and can lead to pages being freed while still accessible by the VMM and guest. This allows users     with the ability to start and control a VM to read/write random pages of memory and can result in local     privilege escalation. (CVE-2021-22543)

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