The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2024:1394-1 advisory.

  - A DMA reentrancy issue leading to a use-after-free error was found in the e1000e NIC emulation code in     QEMU. This issue could allow a privileged guest user to crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a     denial of service. (CVE-2023-3019)

  - A flaw was found in the QEMU built-in VNC server while processing ClientCutText messages. The     qemu_clipboard_request() function can be reached before vnc_server_cut_text_caps() was called and had the     chance to initialize the clipboard peer, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. This could allow a     malicious authenticated VNC client to crash QEMU and trigger a denial of service. (CVE-2023-6683)

  - QEMU before 8.2.0 has an integer underflow, and resultant buffer overflow, via a TI command when an     expected non-DMA transfer length is less than the length of the available FIFO data. This occurs in     esp_do_nodma in hw/scsi/esp.c because of an underflow of async_len. (CVE-2024-24474)

  - A double free vulnerability was found in QEMU virtio devices (virtio-gpu, virtio-serial-bus, virtio-     crypto), where the mem_reentrancy_guard flag insufficiently protects against DMA reentrancy issues. This     issue could allow a malicious privileged guest user to crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a     denial of service or allow arbitrary code execution within the context of the QEMU process on the host.
    (CVE-2024-3446)

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