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-2022:1506-1 advisory.

  - Racy interactions between dirty vram tracking and paging log dirty hypercalls Activation of log dirty mode     done by XEN_DMOP_track_dirty_vram (was named HVMOP_track_dirty_vram before Xen 4.9) is racy with ongoing     log dirty hypercalls. A suitably timed call to XEN_DMOP_track_dirty_vram can enable log dirty while     another CPU is still in the process of tearing down the structures related to a previously enabled log     dirty mode (XEN_DOMCTL_SHADOW_OP_OFF). This is due to lack of mutually exclusive locking between both     operations and can lead to entries being added in already freed slots, resulting in a memory leak.
    (CVE-2022-26356)

  - race in VT-d domain ID cleanup Xen domain IDs are up to 15 bits wide. VT-d hardware may allow for only     less than 15 bits to hold a domain ID associating a physical device with a particular domain. Therefore     internally Xen domain IDs are mapped to the smaller value range. The cleaning up of the housekeeping     structures has a race, allowing for VT-d domain IDs to be leaked and flushes to be bypassed.
    (CVE-2022-26357)

  - IOMMU: RMRR (VT-d) and unity map (AMD-Vi) handling issues T[his CNA information record relates to multiple     CVEs; the text explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVE.] Certain PCI devices in a     system might be assigned Reserved Memory Regions (specified via Reserved Memory Region Reporting, RMRR)     for Intel VT-d or Unity Mapping ranges for AMD-Vi. These are typically used for platform tasks such as     legacy USB emulation. Since the precise purpose of these regions is unknown, once a device associated with     such a region is active, the mappings of these regions need to remain continuouly accessible by the     device. This requirement has been violated. Subsequent DMA or interrupts from the device may have     unpredictable behaviour, ranging from IOMMU faults to memory corruption. (CVE-2022-26358, CVE-2022-26359,     CVE-2022-26360, CVE-2022-26361)

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