The remote SUSE Linux SLED12 / SLED_SAP12 / SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:2538-1 advisory.

  - A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in Linux Kernel. This affects the function     tcp_getsockopt/tcp_setsockopt of the component TCP Handler. The manipulation leads to race condition. It     is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. The identifier VDB-211089 was assigned to this     vulnerability. (CVE-2022-3566)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.0.9. drivers/media/dvb-core/dvbdev.c has a use-     after-free, related to dvb_register_device dynamically allocating fops. (CVE-2022-45884)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.0.9. drivers/media/dvb-core/dvb_frontend.c has a     race condition that can cause a use-after-free when a device is disconnected. (CVE-2022-45885)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.0.9. drivers/media/dvb-core/dvb_net.c has a     .disconnect versus dvb_device_open race condition that leads to a use-after-free. (CVE-2022-45886)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.0.9. drivers/media/usb/ttusb-dec/ttusb_dec.c has a     memory leak because of the lack of a dvb_frontend_detach call. (CVE-2022-45887)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.0.10. In drivers/media/dvb-core/dvb_ca_en50221.c, a     use-after-free can occur is there is a disconnect after an open, because of the lack of a wait_event.
    (CVE-2022-45919)

  - A slab-out-of-bound read problem was found in brcmf_get_assoc_ies in     drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg80211.c in the Linux Kernel. This issue could occur     when assoc_info->req_len data is bigger than the size of the buffer, defined as WL_EXTRA_BUF_MAX, leading     to a denial of service. (CVE-2023-1380)

  - A vulnerability was found in compare_netdev_and_ip in drivers/infiniband/core/cma.c in RDMA in the Linux     Kernel. The improper cleanup results in out-of-boundary read, where a local user can utilize this problem     to crash the system or escalation of privilege. (CVE-2023-2176)

  - An out-of-bounds write vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's SLIMpro I2C device driver. The     userspace data->block[0] variable was not capped to a number between 0-255 and was used as the size of a     memcpy, possibly writing beyond the end of dma_buffer. This flaw could allow a local privileged user to     crash the system or potentially achieve code execution. (CVE-2023-2194)

  - A denial of service problem was found, due to a possible recursive locking scenario, resulting in a     deadlock in table_clear in drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c in the Linux Kernel Device Mapper-Multipathing sub-     component. (CVE-2023-2269)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem in the way it handled the     extra inode size for extended attributes. This flaw could allow a privileged local user to cause a system     crash or other undefined behaviors. (CVE-2023-2513)

  - do_tls_getsockopt in net/tls/tls_main.c in the Linux kernel through 6.2.6 lacks a lock_sock call, leading     to a race condition (with a resultant use-after-free or NULL pointer dereference). (CVE-2023-28466)

  - An issue was discovered in drivers/media/dvb-core/dvb_frontend.c in the Linux kernel 6.2. There is a     blocking operation when a task is in !TASK_RUNNING. In dvb_frontend_get_event, wait_event_interruptible is     called; the condition is dvb_frontend_test_event(fepriv,events). In dvb_frontend_test_event,     down(&fepriv->sem) is called. However, wait_event_interruptible would put the process to sleep, and     down(&fepriv->sem) may block the process. (CVE-2023-31084)

  - qfq_change_class in net/sched/sch_qfq.c in the Linux kernel before 6.2.13 allows an out-of-bounds write     because lmax can exceed QFQ_MIN_LMAX. (CVE-2023-31436)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.1.11. In net/netrom/af_netrom.c, there is a use-     after-free because accept is also allowed for a successfully connected AF_NETROM socket. However, in order     for an attacker to exploit this, the system must have netrom routing configured or the attacker must have     the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability. (CVE-2023-32269)

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