A flaw was found in NetworkManager. The NetworkManager package allows access to files that may belong to other users. NetworkManager allows non-root users to configure the system's network. The daemon runs with root privileges and can access files owned by users different from the one who added the connection.

The remote openSUSE 16 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2026:20547-1 advisory.

    - CVE-2025-9615: NetworkManager File Access (bsc#1257359).
    - CVE-2026-25075: Integer Underflow When Handling EAP-TTLS AVP (bsc#1259472).

    Changes for strongswan:

    - Fixed a vulnerability in the NetworkManager plugin that potentially      allows using credentials of other local users. This vulnerability      has been registered as CVE-2025-9615.
    - The maximum supported length for section names in swanctl.conf      has been increased to the upper limit of 256 characters that's      enforced by VICI.
    - Prevent a crash if a confused peer rekeys a Child SA twice before      sending a delete.
    - Fixed a memory leak if a peer's self-signed certificate is untrusted.

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.
