The remote SUSE Linux SUSE15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2022:0283-1 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in samba. Spaces used in a string around a domain name (DN), while supposed to be     ignored, can cause invalid DN strings with spaces to instead write a zero-byte into out-of-bounds memory,     resulting in a crash. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
    (CVE-2020-27840)

  - A flaw was found in Samba's libldb. Multiple, consecutive leading spaces in an LDAP attribute can lead to     an out-of-bounds memory write, leading to a crash of the LDAP server process handling the request. The     highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2021-20277)

  - ec_verify in kdc/kdc_preauth_ec.c in the Key Distribution Center (KDC) in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) before     1.18.4 and 1.19.x before 1.19.2 allows remote attackers to cause a NULL pointer dereference and daemon     crash. This occurs because a return value is not properly managed in a certain situation. (CVE-2021-36222)

  - All versions of Samba prior to 4.13.16 are vulnerable to a malicious client using an SMB1 or NFS race to     allow a directory to be created in an area of the server file system not exported under the share     definition. Note that SMB1 has to be enabled, or the share also available via NFS in order for this attack     to succeed. (CVE-2021-43566)

  - All versions of Samba prior to 4.15.5 are vulnerable to a malicious client using a server symlink to     determine if a file or directory exists in an area of the server file system not exported under the share     definition. SMB1 with unix extensions has to be enabled in order for this attack to succeed. Clients that     have write access to the exported part of the file system under a share via SMB1 unix extensions or via     NFS can create symlinks that point to arbitrary files or directories on the server filesystem. Clients can     then use SMB1 unix extension information queries to determine if the target of the symlink exists or not     by examining error codes returned from the smbd server. There is no ability to access these files or     directories, only to determine if they exist or not. If SMB1 is turned off and only SMB2 is used, or unix     extensions are not enabled then there is no way to discover if a symlink points to a valid target or not     via SMB2. For this reason, even if symlinks are created via NFS, if the Samba server does not allow SMB1     with unix extensions there is no way to exploit this bug. Finding out what files or directories exist on a     file server can help attackers guess system user names or the exact operating system release and     applications running on the server hosting Samba which may help mount further attacks. SMB1 has been     disabled on Samba since version 4.11.0 and onwards. Exploitation of this bug has not been seen in the     wild. (CVE-2021-44141)

  - samba: Out-of-bounds heap read/write vulnerability in VFS module vfs_fruit allows code execution     (CVE-2021-44142)

  - The Samba AD DC includes checks when adding service principals names (SPNs) to an account to ensure that     SPNs do not alias with those already in the database. Some of these checks are able to be bypassed if an     account modification re-adds an SPN that was previously present on that account, such as one added when a     computer is joined to a domain. An attacker who has the ability to write to an account can exploit this to     perform a denial-of-service attack by adding an SPN that matches an existing service. Additionally, an     attacker who can intercept traffic can impersonate existing services, resulting in a loss of     confidentiality and integrity. (CVE-2022-0336)

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