The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:0871-1 advisory.

  - On Windows, restricted files can be accessed via os.DirFS and http.Dir. The os.DirFS function and http.Dir     type provide access to a tree of files rooted at a given directory. These functions permit access to     Windows device files under that root. For example, os.DirFS(C:/tmp).Open(COM1) opens the COM1 device.
    Both os.DirFS and http.Dir only provide read-only filesystem access. In addition, on Windows, an os.DirFS     for the directory (the root of the current drive) can permit a maliciously crafted path to escape from the     drive and access any path on the system. With fix applied, the behavior of os.DirFS() has changed.
    Previously, an empty root was treated equivalently to /, so os.DirFS().Open(tmp) would open the path     /tmp. This now returns an error. (CVE-2022-41720)

  - A maliciously crafted HTTP/2 stream could cause excessive CPU consumption in the HPACK decoder, sufficient     to cause a denial of service from a small number of small requests. (CVE-2022-41723)

  - Large handshake records may cause panics in crypto/tls. Both clients and servers may send large TLS     handshake records which cause servers and clients, respectively, to panic when attempting to construct     responses. This affects all TLS 1.3 clients, TLS 1.2 clients which explicitly enable session resumption     (by setting Config.ClientSessionCache to a non-nil value), and TLS 1.3 servers which request client     certificates (by setting Config.ClientAuth >= RequestClientCert). (CVE-2022-41724)

  - A denial of service is possible from excessive resource consumption in net/http and mime/multipart.
    Multipart form parsing with mime/multipart.Reader.ReadForm can consume largely unlimited amounts of memory     and disk files. This also affects form parsing in the net/http package with the Request methods FormFile,     FormValue, ParseMultipartForm, and PostFormValue. ReadForm takes a maxMemory parameter, and is documented     as storing up to maxMemory bytes +10MB (reserved for non-file parts) in memory. File parts which cannot     be stored in memory are stored on disk in temporary files. The unconfigurable 10MB reserved for non-file     parts is excessively large and can potentially open a denial of service vector on its own. However,     ReadForm did not properly account for all memory consumed by a parsed form, such as map entry overhead,     part names, and MIME headers, permitting a maliciously crafted form to consume well over 10MB. In     addition, ReadForm contained no limit on the number of disk files created, permitting a relatively small     request body to create a large number of disk temporary files. With fix, ReadForm now properly accounts     for various forms of memory overhead, and should now stay within its documented limit of 10MB + maxMemory     bytes of memory consumption. Users should still be aware that this limit is high and may still be     hazardous. In addition, ReadForm now creates at most one on-disk temporary file, combining multiple form     parts into a single temporary file. The mime/multipart.File interface type's documentation states, If     stored on disk, the File's underlying concrete type will be an *os.File.. This is no longer the case when     a form contains more than one file part, due to this coalescing of parts into a single file. The previous     behavior of using distinct files for each form part may be reenabled with the environment variable     GODEBUG=multipartfiles=distinct. Users should be aware that multipart.ReadForm and the http.Request     methods that call it do not limit the amount of disk consumed by temporary files. Callers can limit the     size of form data with http.MaxBytesReader. (CVE-2022-41725)

  - The ScalarMult and ScalarBaseMult methods of the P256 Curve may return an incorrect result if called with     some specific unreduced scalars (a scalar larger than the order of the curve). This does not impact usages     of crypto/ecdsa or crypto/ecdh. (CVE-2023-24532)

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