The remote SUSE Linux SLES11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2019:14157-1 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel before 4.1.4, a buffer overflow occurs when checking userspace params in     drivers/media/dvb-frontends/cx24116.c. The maximum size for a DiSEqC command is 6, according to the     userspace API. However, the code allows larger values such as 23. (CVE-2015-9289)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.18.7. In create_qp_common in     drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/qp.c, mlx5_ib_create_qp_resp was never initialized, resulting in a leak of     stack memory to userspace. (CVE-2018-20855)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when certain central processing units (CPU) speculatively     access memory, aka 'Windows Kernel Information Disclosure Vulnerability'. This CVE ID is unique from     CVE-2019-1071, CVE-2019-1073. (CVE-2019-1125)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0.7. A NULL pointer dereference can occur when     megasas_create_frame_pool() fails in megasas_alloc_cmds() in drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas_base.c.
    This causes a Denial of Service, related to a use-after-free. (CVE-2019-11810)

  - In parse_hid_report_descriptor in drivers/input/tablet/gtco.c in the Linux kernel through 5.2.1, a     malicious USB device can send an HID report that triggers an out-of-bounds write during generation of     debugging messages. (CVE-2019-13631)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.2.3, set_geometry in drivers/block/floppy.c does not validate the sect and     head fields, as demonstrated by an integer overflow and out-of-bounds read. It can be triggered by an     unprivileged local user when a floppy disk has been inserted. NOTE: QEMU creates the floppy device by     default. (CVE-2019-14283)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.2.3, drivers/block/floppy.c allows a denial of service by setup_format_params     division-by-zero. Two consecutive ioctls can trigger the bug: the first one should set the drive geometry     with .sect and .rate values that make F_SECT_PER_TRACK be zero. Next, the floppy format operation should     be called. It can be triggered by an unprivileged local user even when a floppy disk has not been     inserted. NOTE: QEMU creates the floppy device by default. (CVE-2019-14284)

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