The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:3377-1 advisory.

  - Information exposure through microarchitectural state after transient execution in certain vector     execution units for some Intel(R) Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable     information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2022-40982)

  - Copy_from_user on 64-bit versions of the Linux kernel does not implement the __uaccess_begin_nospec     allowing a user to bypass the access_ok check and pass a kernel pointer to copy_from_user(). This would     allow an attacker to leak information. We recommend upgrading beyond commit     74e19ef0ff8061ef55957c3abd71614ef0f42f47 (CVE-2023-0459)

  - A side channel vulnerability on some of the AMD CPUs may allow an attacker to influence the return address     prediction. This may result in speculative execution at an attacker-controlled?address, potentially     leading to information disclosure. (CVE-2023-20569)

  - In multiple functions of io_uring.c, there is a possible kernel memory corruption due to improper locking.
    This could lead to local escalation of privilege in the kernel with System execution privileges needed.
    User interaction is not needed for exploitation. (CVE-2023-21400)

  - A flaw was found in the networking subsystem of the Linux kernel within the handling of the RPL protocol.
    This issue results from the lack of proper handling of user-supplied data, which can lead to an assertion     failure. This may allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to create a denial of service condition on the     system. (CVE-2023-2156)

  - A null pointer dereference issue was found in can protocol in net/can/af_can.c in the Linux before Linux.
    ml_priv may not be initialized in the receive path of CAN frames. A local user could use this flaw to     crash the system or potentially cause a denial of service. (CVE-2023-2166)

  - An issue was discovered in drivers/bluetooth/hci_ldisc.c in the Linux kernel 6.2. In hci_uart_tty_ioctl,     there is a race condition between HCIUARTSETPROTO and HCIUARTGETPROTO. HCI_UART_PROTO_SET is set before     hu->proto is set. A NULL pointer dereference may occur. (CVE-2023-31083)

  - An out of bounds (OOB) memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel in relay_file_read_start_pos in     kernel/relay.c in the relayfs. This flaw could allow a local attacker to crash the system or leak kernel     internal information. (CVE-2023-3268)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in vcs_read in drivers/tty/vt/vc_screen.c in vc_screen in the Linux     Kernel. This flaw allows an attacker with local user access to cause a system crash or leak internal     kernel information. (CVE-2023-3567)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: cls_fw component can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation. If tcf_change_indev() fails, fw_set_parms() will immediately return an     error after incrementing or decrementing the reference counter in tcf_bind_filter(). If an attacker can     control the reference counter and set it to zero, they can cause the reference to be freed, leading to a     use-after-free vulnerability. We recommend upgrading past commit 0323bce598eea038714f941ce2b22541c46d488f.
    (CVE-2023-3776)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's netfilter in the way a user triggers the     nft_pipapo_remove function with the element, without a NFT_SET_EXT_KEY_END. This issue could allow a local     user to crash the system or potentially escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2023-4004)

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