The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:1669-1 advisory.

  - A use after free in the Linux kernel infiniband hfi1 driver in versions prior to 5.10-rc6 was found in the     way user calls Ioctl after open dev file and fork. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system.
    (CVE-2020-27835)

  - In dma_buf_release of dma-buf.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-155756045References:
    Upstream kernel (CVE-2021-0707)

  - There is a flaw reported in the Linux kernel in versions before 5.9 in     drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_sgdma.c in nouveau_sgdma_create_ttm in Nouveau DRM subsystem. The issue     results from the lack of validating the existence of an object prior to performing operations on the     object. An attacker with a local account with a root privilege, can leverage this vulnerability to     escalate privileges and execute code in the context of the kernel. (CVE-2021-20292)

  - A race condition accessing file object in the Linux kernel OverlayFS subsystem was found in the way users     do rename in specific way with OverlayFS. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system.
    (CVE-2021-20321)

  - net/nfc/llcp_sock.c in the Linux kernel before 5.12.10 allows local unprivileged users to cause a denial     of service (NULL pointer dereference and BUG) by making a getsockname call after a certain type of failure     of a bind call. (CVE-2021-38208)

  - 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)

  - An information leak flaw was found in NFS over RDMA in the net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/rpc_rdma.c in the Linux     Kernel. This flaw allows an attacker with normal user privileges to leak kernel information.
    (CVE-2022-0812)

  - A flaw was found in KVM. When updating a guest's page table entry, vm_pgoff was improperly used as the     offset to get the page's pfn. As vaddr and vm_pgoff are controllable by user-mode processes, this flaw     allows unprivileged local users on the host to write outside the userspace region and potentially corrupt     the kernel, resulting in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2022-1158)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in drm_lease_held in drivers/gpu/drm/drm_lease.c in the Linux     kernel due to a race problem. This flaw allows a local user privilege attacker to cause a denial of     service (DoS) or a kernel information leak. (CVE-2022-1280)

  - A vulnerability was found in the pfkey_register function in net/key/af_key.c in the Linux kernel. This     flaw allows a local, unprivileged user to gain access to kernel memory, leading to a system crash or a     leak of internal kernel information. (CVE-2022-1353)

  - The root cause of this vulnerability is that the ioctl$DRM_IOCTL_MODE_DESTROY_DUMB can decrease refcount     of *drm_vgem_gem_object *(created in *vgem_gem_dumb_create*) concurrently, and *vgem_gem_dumb_create *will     access the freed drm_vgem_gem_object. (CVE-2022-1419)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel's X.25 set of standardized network protocols     functionality in the way a user terminates their session using a simulated Ethernet card and continued     usage of this connection. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system. (CVE-2022-1516)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.17.1, a refcount leak bug was found in net/llc/af_llc.c. (CVE-2022-28356)

  - The SUNRPC subsystem in the Linux kernel through 5.17.2 can call xs_xprt_free before ensuring that sockets     are in the intended state. (CVE-2022-28893)

  - drivers/infiniband/ulp/rtrs/rtrs-clt.c in the Linux kernel before 5.16.12 has a double free related to     rtrs_clt_dev_release. (CVE-2022-29156)

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