The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:0257-1 advisory.

  - u'Specifically timed and handcrafted traffic can cause internal errors in a WLAN device that lead to     improper layer 2 Wi-Fi encryption with a consequent possibility of information disclosure over the air for     a discrete set of traffic' in Snapdragon Auto, Snapdragon Compute, Snapdragon Connectivity, Snapdragon     Consumer IOT, Snapdragon Industrial IOT, Snapdragon Mobile, Snapdragon Voice & Music, Snapdragon     Wearables, Snapdragon Wired Infrastructure and Networking in APQ8053, IPQ4019, IPQ8064, MSM8909W,     MSM8996AU, QCA9531, QCN5502, QCS405, SDX20, SM6150, SM7150 (CVE-2020-3702)

  - A flaw in the Linux kernel's implementation of RDMA communications manager listener code allowed an     attacker with local access to setup a socket to listen on a high port allowing for a list element to be     used after free. Given the ability to execute code, a local attacker could leverage this use-after-free to     crash the system or possibly escalate privileges on the system. (CVE-2021-4028)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in cgroup1_parse_param in kernel/cgroup/cgroup-v1.c in the Linux kernel's     cgroup v1 parser. A local attacker with a user privilege could cause a privilege escalation by exploiting     the fsconfig syscall parameter leading to a container breakout and a denial of service on the system.
    (CVE-2021-4154)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel FireDTV media card driver, where the user     calls the CA_SEND_MSG ioctl. This flaw allows a local user of the host machine to crash the system or     escalate privileges on the system. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality,     integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-42739)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the legacy_parse_param function in the Filesystem     Context functionality of the Linux kernel verified the supplied parameters length. An unprivileged (in     case of unprivileged user namespaces enabled, otherwise needs namespaced CAP_SYS_ADMIN privilege) local     user able to open a filesystem that does not support the Filesystem Context API (and thus fallbacks to     legacy handling) could use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-0185)

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