The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:0334-1 advisory.

  - Moby is an open-source project created by Docker to enable software containerization. A bug was found in     Moby (Docker Engine) where attempting to copy files using `docker cp` into a specially-crafted container     can result in Unix file permission changes for existing files in the host's filesystem, widening access to     others. This bug does not directly allow files to be read, modified, or executed without an additional     cooperating process. This bug has been fixed in Moby (Docker Engine) 20.10.9. Users should update to this     version as soon as possible. Running containers do not need to be restarted. (CVE-2021-41089)

  - Moby is an open-source project created by Docker to enable software containerization. A bug was found in     Moby (Docker Engine) where the data directory (typically `/var/lib/docker`) contained subdirectories with     insufficiently restricted permissions, allowing otherwise unprivileged Linux users to traverse directory     contents and execute programs. When containers included executable programs with extended permission bits     (such as `setuid`), unprivileged Linux users could discover and execute those programs. When the UID of an     unprivileged Linux user on the host collided with the file owner or group inside a container, the     unprivileged Linux user on the host could discover, read, and modify those files. This bug has been fixed     in Moby (Docker Engine) 20.10.9. Users should update to this version as soon as possible. Running     containers should be stopped and restarted for the permissions to be fixed. For users unable to upgrade     limit access to the host to trusted users. Limit access to host volumes to trusted containers.
    (CVE-2021-41091)

  - Docker CLI is the command line interface for the docker container runtime. A bug was found in the Docker     CLI where running `docker login my-private-registry.example.com` with a misconfigured configuration file     (typically `~/.docker/config.json`) listing a `credsStore` or `credHelpers` that could not be executed     would result in any provided credentials being sent to `registry-1.docker.io` rather than the intended     private registry. This bug has been fixed in Docker CLI 20.10.9. Users should update to this version as     soon as possible. For users unable to update ensure that any configured credsStore or credHelpers entries     in the configuration file reference an installed credential helper that is executable and on the PATH.
    (CVE-2021-41092)

  - containerd is an open source container runtime with an emphasis on simplicity, robustness and portability.
    A bug was found in containerd where container root directories and some plugins had insufficiently     restricted permissions, allowing otherwise unprivileged Linux users to traverse directory contents and     execute programs. When containers included executable programs with extended permission bits (such as     setuid), unprivileged Linux users could discover and execute those programs. When the UID of an     unprivileged Linux user on the host collided with the file owner or group inside a container, the     unprivileged Linux user on the host could discover, read, and modify those files. This vulnerability has     been fixed in containerd 1.4.11 and containerd 1.5.7. Users should update to these version when they are     released and may restart containers or update directory permissions to mitigate the vulnerability. Users     unable to update should limit access to the host to trusted users. Update directory permission on     container bundles directories. (CVE-2021-41103)

  - The OCI Distribution Spec project defines an API protocol to facilitate and standardize the distribution     of content. In the OCI Distribution Specification version 1.0.0 and prior, the Content-Type header alone     was used to determine the type of document during push and pull operations. Documents that contain both     manifests and layers fields could be interpreted as either a manifest or an index in the absence of an     accompanying Content-Type header. If a Content-Type header changed between two pulls of the same digest, a     client may interpret the resulting content differently. The OCI Distribution Specification has been     updated to require that a mediaType value present in a manifest or index match the Content-Type header     used during the push and pull operations. Clients pulling from a registry may distrust the Content-Type     header and reject an ambiguous document that contains both manifests and layers fields or manifests     and config fields if they are unable to update to version 1.0.1 of the spec. (CVE-2021-41190)

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