The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:3623-1 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, pick_next_rt_entity() may return a type confused entry, not detected by the BUG_ON     condition, as the confused entry will not be NULL, but list_head.The buggy error condition would lead to a     type confused entry with the list head,which would then be used as a type confused sched_rt_entity,causing     memory corruption. (CVE-2023-1077)

  - 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 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)

  - A heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux Kernel ipvlan network driver can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation. The out-of-bounds write is caused by missing skb->cb initialization in     the ipvlan network driver. The vulnerability is reachable if CONFIG_IPVLAN is enabled. We recommend     upgrading past commit 90cbed5247439a966b645b34eb0a2e037836ea8e. (CVE-2023-3090)

  - In the Linux kernel through 6.3.1, a use-after-free in Netfilter nf_tables when processing batch requests     can be abused to perform arbitrary read and write operations on kernel memory. Unprivileged local users     can obtain root privileges. This occurs because anonymous sets are mishandled. (CVE-2023-32233)

  - Linux Kernel nftables Out-Of-Bounds Read/Write Vulnerability; nft_byteorder poorly handled vm register     contents when CAP_NET_ADMIN is in any user or network namespace (CVE-2023-35001)

  - 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)

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