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-2022:3844-1 advisory.

  - A NULL pointer dereference issue was found in KVM when releasing a vCPU with dirty ring support enabled.
    This flaw allows an unprivileged local attacker on the host to issue specific ioctl calls, causing a     kernel oops condition that results in a denial of service. (CVE-2022-1263)

  - kernel: nf_tables cross-table potential use-after-free may lead to local privilege escalation     (CVE-2022-2586)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw in diFree in fs/jfs/inode.c in Journaled File System (JFS)in the Linux     kernel. This could allow a local attacker to crash the system or leak kernel internal information.
    (CVE-2022-3202)

  - The Linux kernel before 5.17.9 allows TCP servers to identify clients by observing what source ports are     used. This occurs because of use of Algorithm 4 (Double-Hash Port Selection Algorithm) of RFC 6056.
    (CVE-2022-32296)

  - A flaw use after free in the Linux kernel video4linux driver was found in the way user triggers     em28xx_usb_probe() for the Empia 28xx based TV cards. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system     or potentially escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-3239)

  - A race condition flaw was found in the Linux kernel sound subsystem due to improper locking. It could lead     to a NULL pointer dereference while handling the SNDCTL_DSP_SYNC ioctl. A privileged local user (root or     member of the audio group) could use this flaw to crash the system, resulting in a denial of service     condition (CVE-2022-3303)

  - An issue was discovered the x86 KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel before 5.18.17. Unprivileged guest users     can compromise the guest kernel because TLB flush operations are mishandled in certain KVM_VCPU_PREEMPTED     situations. (CVE-2022-39189)

  - In drivers/media/dvb-core/dmxdev.c in the Linux kernel through 5.19.10, there is a use-after-free caused     by refcount races, affecting dvb_demux_open and dvb_dmxdev_release. (CVE-2022-41218)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.19.16. Attackers able to inject WLAN frames could     cause a buffer overflow in the ieee80211_bss_info_update function in net/mac80211/scan.c. (CVE-2022-41674)

  - drivers/char/pcmcia/synclink_cs.c in the Linux kernel through 5.19.12 has a race condition and resultant     use-after-free if a physically proximate attacker removes a PCMCIA device while calling ioctl, aka a race     condition between mgslpc_ioctl and mgslpc_detach. (CVE-2022-41848)

  - drivers/video/fbdev/smscufx.c in the Linux kernel through 5.19.12 has a race condition and resultant use-     after-free if a physically proximate attacker removes a USB device while calling open(), aka a race     condition between ufx_ops_open and ufx_usb_disconnect. (CVE-2022-41849)

  - A use-after-free in the mac80211 stack when parsing a multi-BSSID element in the Linux kernel 5.2 through     5.19.x before 5.19.16 could be used by attackers (able to inject WLAN frames) to crash the kernel and     potentially execute code. (CVE-2022-42719)

  - Various refcounting bugs in the multi-BSS handling in the mac80211 stack in the Linux kernel 5.1 through     5.19.x before 5.19.16 could be used by local attackers (able to inject WLAN frames) to trigger use-after-     free conditions to potentially execute code. (CVE-2022-42720)

  - A list management bug in BSS handling in the mac80211 stack in the Linux kernel 5.1 through 5.19.x before     5.19.16 could be used by local attackers (able to inject WLAN frames) to corrupt a linked list and, in     turn, potentially execute code. (CVE-2022-42721)

  - In the Linux kernel 5.8 through 5.19.x before 5.19.16, local attackers able to inject WLAN frames into the     mac80211 stack could cause a NULL pointer dereference denial-of-service attack against the beacon     protection of P2P devices. (CVE-2022-42722)

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