The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:3444-1 advisory.

  - An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the ATI VGA device emulation of QEMU. This flaw occurs in     the ati_2d_blt() routine while handling MMIO write operations when the guest provides invalid values for     the destination display parameters. A malicious guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the     host, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2021-3638)

  - A DMA reentrancy issue was found in the USB EHCI controller emulation of QEMU. EHCI does not verify if the     Buffer Pointer overlaps with its MMIO region when it transfers the USB packets. Crafted content may be     written to the controller's registers and trigger undesirable actions (such as reset) while the device is     still transferring packets. This can ultimately lead to a use-after-free issue. A malicious guest could     use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of service condition, or     potentially execute arbitrary code within the context of the QEMU process on the host. This flaw affects     QEMU versions before 7.0.0. (CVE-2021-3750)

  - A vulnerability in the lsi53c895a device affects the latest version of qemu. A DMA-MMIO reentrancy problem     may lead to memory corruption bugs like stack overflow or use-after-free. (CVE-2023-0330)

  - A flaw was found in the QEMU virtual crypto device while handling data encryption/decryption requests in     virtio_crypto_handle_sym_req. There is no check for the value of `src_len` and `dst_len` in     virtio_crypto_sym_op_helper, potentially leading to a heap buffer overflow when the two values differ.
    (CVE-2023-3180)

  - A design error vulnerability exists in Qemu. The error occurs due to the incorrect cleanup of the     vdpa/vhost-net structures if peer nic is present. (CVE-2023-3301)

  - A flaw was found in the QEMU built-in VNC server. When a client connects to the VNC server, QEMU checks     whether the current number of connections crosses a certain threshold and if so, cleans up the previous     connection. If the previous connection happens to be in the handshake phase and fails, QEMU cleans up the     connection again, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference issue. This could allow a remote unauthenticated     client to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2023-3354)

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