The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2024:1307-1 advisory.

  - libuv is a multi-platform support library with a focus on asynchronous I/O. The `uv_getaddrinfo` function     in `src/unix/getaddrinfo.c` (and its windows counterpart `src/win/getaddrinfo.c`), truncates hostnames to     256 characters before calling `getaddrinfo`. This behavior can be exploited to create addresses like     `0x00007f000001`, which are considered valid by `getaddrinfo` and could allow an attacker to craft     payloads that resolve to unintended IP addresses, bypassing developer checks. The vulnerability arises due     to how the `hostname_ascii` variable (with a length of 256 bytes) is handled in `uv_getaddrinfo` and     subsequently in `uv__idna_toascii`. When the hostname exceeds 256 characters, it gets truncated without a     terminating null byte. As a result attackers may be able to access internal APIs or for websites (similar     to MySpace) that allows users to have `username.example.com` pages. Internal services that crawl or cache     these user pages can be exposed to SSRF attacks if a malicious user chooses a long vulnerable username.
    This issue has been addressed in release version 1.48.0. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known     workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2024-24806)

  - The team has identified a vulnerability in the http server of the most recent version of Node, where     malformed headers can lead to HTTP request smuggling. Specifically, if a space is placed before a content-     length header, it is not interpreted correctly, enabling attackers to smuggle in a second request within     the body of the first. Impacts: Thank you, to bpingel for reporting this vulnerability and Paolo Insogna     for fixing it.  Summary The Node.js project will release new versions of the 18.x, 20.x, 21.x releases     lines on or shortly after, Wednesday, April 3, 2024 in order to address: (CVE-2024-27982)

  - An attacker can make the Node.js HTTP/2 server completely unavailable by sending a small amount of HTTP/2     frames packets with a few HTTP/2 frames inside. It is possible to leave some data in nghttp2 memory after     reset when headers with HTTP/2 CONTINUATION frame are sent to the server and then a TCP connection is     abruptly closed by the client triggering the Http2Session destructor while header frames are still being     processed (and stored in memory) causing a race condition. (CVE-2024-27983)

  - Undici is an HTTP/1.1 client, written from scratch for Node.js. Undici cleared Authorization and Proxy-     Authorization headers for `fetch()`, but did not clear them for `undici.request()`. This vulnerability was     patched in version(s) 5.28.4 and 6.11.1. (CVE-2024-30260)

  - Undici is an HTTP/1.1 client, written from scratch for Node.js. An attacker can alter the `integrity`     option passed to `fetch()`, allowing `fetch()` to accept requests as valid even if they have been     tampered. This vulnerability was patched in version(s) 5.28.4 and 6.11.1. (CVE-2024-30261)

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