The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLES15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2021:3647-1 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in the way samba implemented SMB1 authentication. An attacker could use this flaw to     retrieve the plaintext password sent over the wire even if Kerberos authentication was required.
    (CVE-2016-2124)

  - A flaw was found in the way Samba maps domain users to local users. An authenticated attacker could use     this flaw to cause possible privilege escalation. (CVE-2020-25717)

  - A flaw was found in the way samba, as an Active Directory Domain Controller, is able to support an RODC     (read-only domain controller). This would allow an RODC to print administrator tickets. (CVE-2020-25718)

  - A flaw was found in the way Samba, as an Active Directory Domain Controller, implemented Kerberos name-     based authentication. The Samba AD DC, could become confused about the user a ticket represents if it did     not strictly require a Kerberos PAC and always use the SIDs found within. The result could include total     domain compromise. (CVE-2020-25719)

  - Kerberos acceptors need easy access to stable AD identifiers (eg objectSid). Samba as an AD DC now     provides a way for Linux applications to obtain a reliable SID (and samAccountName) in issued tickets.
    (CVE-2020-25721)

  - Multiple flaws were found in the way samba AD DC implemented access and conformance checking of stored     data. An attacker could use this flaw to cause total domain compromise. (CVE-2020-25722)

  - A flaw was found in the way samba implemented DCE/RPC. If a client to a Samba server sent a very large     DCE/RPC request, and chose to fragment it, an attacker could replace later fragments with their own data,     bypassing the signature requirements. (CVE-2021-23192)

  - In DCE/RPC it is possible to share the handles (cookies for resource state) between multiple connections     via a mechanism called 'association groups'. These handles can reference connections to our sam.ldb     database. However while the database was correctly shared, the user credentials state was only pointed at,     and when one connection within that association group ended, the database would be left pointing at an     invalid 'struct session_info'. The most likely outcome here is a crash, but it is possible that the use-     after-free could instead allow different user state to be pointed at and this might allow more privileged     access. (CVE-2021-3738)

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