The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:0296-1 advisory.

  - The BPF subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.17 mishandles situations with a long jump over an     instruction sequence where inner instructions require substantial expansions into multiple BPF     instructions, leading to an overflow. This affects kernel/bpf/core.c and net/core/filter.c.
    (CVE-2018-25020)

  - A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel where refcount leak in llcp_sock_bind() causing use-after-free     which might lead to privilege escalations. (CVE-2020-25670)

  - A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel, where a refcount leak in llcp_sock_connect() causing use-after-     free which might lead to privilege escalations. (CVE-2020-25671)

  - A memory leak vulnerability was found in Linux kernel in llcp_sock_connect (CVE-2020-25672)

  - A vulnerability was found in Linux kernel where non-blocking socket in llcp_sock_connect() leads to leak     and eventually hanging-up the system. (CVE-2020-25673)

  - u'Specifically timed and handcrafted traffic can cause internal errors in a WLAN device that lead to     improper layer 2 Wi-Fi encryption with a consequent possibility of information disclosure over the air for     a discrete set of traffic' in Snapdragon Auto, Snapdragon Compute, Snapdragon Connectivity, Snapdragon     Consumer IOT, Snapdragon Industrial IOT, Snapdragon Mobile, Snapdragon Voice & Music, Snapdragon     Wearables, Snapdragon Wired Infrastructure and Networking in APQ8053, IPQ4019, IPQ8064, MSM8909W,     MSM8996AU, QCA9531, QCN5502, QCS405, SDX20, SM6150, SM7150 (CVE-2020-3702)

  - Use After Free vulnerability in nfc sockets in the Linux Kernel before 5.12.4 allows local attackers to     elevate their privileges. In typical configurations, the issue can only be triggered by a privileged local     user with the CAP_NET_RAW capability. (CVE-2021-23134)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel FireDTV media card driver, where the user     calls the CA_SEND_MSG ioctl. This flaw allows a local user of the host machine to crash the system or     escalate privileges on the system. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality,     integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-42739)

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