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-2024:0784-1 advisory.

  - xmlparse.c in Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.5 allows attackers to insert namespace-separator characters     into namespace URIs. (CVE-2022-25236)

  - The email module of Python through 3.11.3 incorrectly parses e-mail addresses that contain a special     character. The wrong portion of an RFC2822 header is identified as the value of the addr-spec. In some     applications, an attacker can bypass a protection mechanism in which application access is granted only     after verifying receipt of e-mail to a specific domain (e.g., only @company.example.com addresses may be     used for signup). This occurs in email/_parseaddr.py in recent versions of Python. (CVE-2023-27043)

  - An issue was discovered in Python before 3.8.18, 3.9.x before 3.9.18, 3.10.x before 3.10.13, and 3.11.x     before 3.11.5. It primarily affects servers (such as HTTP servers) that use TLS client authentication. If     a TLS server-side socket is created, receives data into the socket buffer, and then is closed quickly,     there is a brief window where the SSLSocket instance will detect the socket as not connected and won't     initiate a handshake, but buffered data will still be readable from the socket buffer. This data will not     be authenticated if the server-side TLS peer is expecting client certificate authentication, and is     indistinguishable from valid TLS stream data. Data is limited in size to the amount that will fit in the     buffer. (The TLS connection cannot directly be used for data exfiltration because the vulnerable code path     requires that the connection be closed on initialization of the SSLSocket.) (CVE-2023-40217)

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