The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:1039-1 advisory.

  - In unix_scm_to_skb of af_unix.c, there is a possible use after free bug due to a race condition. This     could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is     not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID: A-196926917References:
    Upstream kernel (CVE-2021-0920)

  - In ufshcd_eh_device_reset_handler of ufshcd.c, there is a possible out of bounds read due to a missing     bounds check. This could lead to local information disclosure with System execution privileges needed.

  - In aio_poll_complete_work of aio.c, there is a possible memory corruption due to a use after free. This     could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User     interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID:
    A-185125206References: Upstream kernel (CVE-2021-39698)

  - In gc_data_segment in fs/f2fs/gc.c in the Linux kernel before 5.16.3, special files are not considered,     leading to a move_data_page NULL pointer dereference. (CVE-2021-44879)

  - The check_alu_op() function in kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel through v5.16-rc5 did not     properly update bounds while handling the mov32 instruction, which allows local users to obtain     potentially sensitive address information, aka a pointer leak. (CVE-2021-45402)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in rtsx_usb_ms_drv_remove in drivers/memstick/host/rtsx_usb_ms.c     in memstick in the Linux kernel. In this flaw, a local attacker with a user privilege may impact system     Confidentiality. This flaw affects kernel versions prior to 5.14 rc1. (CVE-2022-0487)

  - A flaw null pointer dereference in the Linux kernel UDF file system functionality was found in the way     user triggers udf_file_write_iter function for the malicious UDF image. A local user could use this flaw     to crash the system. Actual from Linux kernel 4.2-rc1 till 5.17-rc2. (CVE-2022-0617)

  - Linux PV device frontends vulnerable to attacks by backends T[his CNA information record relates to     multiple CVEs; the text explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVE.] Several Linux PV     device frontends are using the grant table interfaces for removing access rights of the backends in ways     being subject to race conditions, resulting in potential data leaks, data corruption by malicious     backends, and denial of service triggered by malicious backends: blkfront, netfront, scsifront and the     gntalloc driver are testing whether a grant reference is still in use. If this is not the case, they     assume that a following removal of the granted access will always succeed, which is not true in case the     backend has mapped the granted page between those two operations. As a result the backend can keep access     to the memory page of the guest no matter how the page will be used after the frontend I/O has finished.
    The xenbus driver has a similar problem, as it doesn't check the success of removing the granted access of     a shared ring buffer. blkfront: CVE-2022-23036 netfront: CVE-2022-23037 scsifront: CVE-2022-23038     gntalloc: CVE-2022-23039 xenbus: CVE-2022-23040 blkfront, netfront, scsifront, usbfront, dmabuf, xenbus,     9p, kbdfront, and pvcalls are using a functionality to delay freeing a grant reference until it is no     longer in use, but the freeing of the related data page is not synchronized with dropping the granted     access. As a result the backend can keep access to the memory page even after it has been freed and then     re-used for a different purpose. CVE-2022-23041 netfront will fail a BUG_ON() assertion if it fails to     revoke access in the rx path. This will result in a Denial of Service (DoS) situation of the guest which     can be triggered by the backend. CVE-2022-23042 (CVE-2022-23036, CVE-2022-23037, CVE-2022-23038,     CVE-2022-23039, CVE-2022-23040, CVE-2022-23041, CVE-2022-23042)

  - An issue was discovered in fs/nfs/dir.c in the Linux kernel before 5.16.5. If an application sets the     O_DIRECTORY flag, and tries to open a regular file, nfs_atomic_open() performs a regular lookup. If a     regular file is found, ENOTDIR should occur, but the server instead returns uninitialized data in the file     descriptor. (CVE-2022-24448)

  - drivers/usb/gadget/legacy/inode.c in the Linux kernel through 5.16.8 mishandles dev->buf release.
    (CVE-2022-24958)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.16.5. There is a memory leak in yam_siocdevprivate in     drivers/net/hamradio/yam.c. (CVE-2022-24959)

  - An issue was discovered in drivers/usb/gadget/composite.c in the Linux kernel before 5.16.10. The USB     Gadget subsystem lacks certain validation of interface OS descriptor requests (ones with a large array     index and ones associated with NULL function pointer retrieval). Memory corruption might occur.
    (CVE-2022-25258)

  - net/netfilter/nf_dup_netdev.c in the Linux kernel 5.4 through 5.6.10 allows local users to gain privileges     because of a heap out-of-bounds write. This is related to nf_tables_offload. (CVE-2022-25636)

  - st21nfca_connectivity_event_received in drivers/nfc/st21nfca/se.c in the Linux kernel through 5.16.12 has     EVT_TRANSACTION buffer overflows because of untrusted length parameters. (CVE-2022-26490)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.16.12. drivers/net/usb/sr9700.c allows attackers to     obtain sensitive information from heap memory via crafted frame lengths from a device. (CVE-2022-26966)

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