The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:2526-1 advisory.

  - The go command may generate unexpected code at build time when using cgo. This may result in unexpected     behavior when running a go program which uses cgo. This may occur when running an untrusted module which     contains directories with newline characters in their names. Modules which are retrieved using the go     command, i.e. via go get, are not affected (modules retrieved using GOPATH-mode, i.e. GO111MODULE=off,     may be affected). (CVE-2023-29402)

  - On Unix platforms, the Go runtime does not behave differently when a binary is run with the setuid/setgid     bits. This can be dangerous in certain cases, such as when dumping memory state, or assuming the status of     standard i/o file descriptors. If a setuid/setgid binary is executed with standard I/O file descriptors     closed, opening any files can result in unexpected content being read or written with elevated privileges.
    Similarly, if a setuid/setgid program is terminated, either via panic or signal, it may leak the contents     of its registers. (CVE-2023-29403)

  - The go command may execute arbitrary code at build time when using cgo. This may occur when running go     get on a malicious module, or when running any other command which builds untrusted code. This is can by     triggered by linker flags, specified via a #cgo LDFLAGS directive. The arguments for a number of flags     which are non-optional are incorrectly considered optional, allowing disallowed flags to be smuggled     through the LDFLAGS sanitization. This affects usage of both the gc and gccgo compilers. (CVE-2023-29404)

  - The go command may execute arbitrary code at build time when using cgo. This may occur when running go     get on a malicious module, or when running any other command which builds untrusted code. This is can by     triggered by linker flags, specified via a #cgo LDFLAGS directive. Flags containing embedded spaces are     mishandled, allowing disallowed flags to be smuggled through the LDFLAGS sanitization by including them in     the argument of another flag. This only affects usage of the gccgo compiler. (CVE-2023-29405)

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