The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:0679-1 advisory.

  - An issue was discovered in PHP 7.3.x before 7.3.0alpha3, 7.2.x before 7.2.8, and before 7.1.20. The php-     fpm master process restarts a child process in an endless loop when using program execution functions     (e.g., passthru, exec, shell_exec, or system) with a non-blocking STDIN stream, causing this master     process to consume 100% of the CPU, and consume disk space with a large volume of error logs, as     demonstrated by an attack by a customer of a shared-hosting facility. (CVE-2015-9253)

  - The zend_string_extend function in Zend/zend_string.h in PHP through 7.1.5 does not prevent changes to     string objects that result in a negative length, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging a script's use of .=     with a long string. (CVE-2017-8923)

  - In PHP versions 7.3.x up to and including 7.3.31, 7.4.x below 7.4.25 and 8.0.x below 8.0.12, when running     PHP FPM SAPI with main FPM daemon process running as root and child worker processes running as lower-     privileged users, it is possible for the child processes to access memory shared with the main process and     write to it, modifying it in a way that would cause the root process to conduct invalid memory reads and     writes, which can be used to escalate privileges from local unprivileged user to the root user.
    (CVE-2021-21703)

  - In PHP versions 7.3.x below 7.3.33, 7.4.x below 7.4.26 and 8.0.x below 8.0.13, certain XML parsing     functions, like simplexml_load_file(), URL-decode the filename passed to them. If that filename contains     URL-encoded NUL character, this may cause the function to interpret this as the end of the filename, thus     interpreting the filename differently from what the user intended, which may lead it to reading a     different file than intended. (CVE-2021-21707)

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