In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: x86: wean fast IN from emulator_pio_in Use __emulator_pio_in() directly for fast PIO instead of bouncing through emulator_pio_in() now that __emulator_pio_in() fills "val" when handling in-kernel PIO. vcpu->arch.pio.count is guaranteed to be '0', so this a pure nop. emulator_pio_in_emulated is now the last caller of emulator_pio_in. No functional change intended.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:3593-1 advisory.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

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

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - KVM: x86: wean fast IN from emulator_pio_in Use __emulator_pio_in() directly for fast PIO instead of     bouncing through emulator_pio_in() now that __emulator_pio_in() fills val when handling in-kernel PIO.
    vcpu->arch.pio.count is guaranteed to be '0', so this a pure nop. emulator_pio_in_emulated is now the last     caller of emulator_pio_in. No functional change intended. (CVE-2022-4994)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
