The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:0363-1 advisory.

  - The vgacon subsystem in the Linux kernel before 5.8.10 mishandles software scrollback. There is a     vgacon_scrolldelta out-of-bounds read, aka CID-973c096f6a85. (CVE-2020-28097)

  - A double free bug in packet_set_ring() in net/packet/af_packet.c can be exploited by a local user through     crafted syscalls to escalate privileges or deny service. We recommend upgrading kernel past the effected     versions or rebuilding past ec6af094ea28f0f2dda1a6a33b14cd57e36a9755 (CVE-2021-22600)

  - In gadget_dev_desc_UDC_show of configfs.c, there is a possible disclosure of kernel heap memory due to a     race condition. This could lead to local information disclosure with System execution privileges needed.
    User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID:
    A-160822094References: Upstream kernel (CVE-2021-39648)

  - In ufshcd_eh_device_reset_handler of ufshcd.c, there is a possible out of bounds read due to a missing     bounds check. This could lead to local information disclosure with System execution privileges needed.
    User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID:
    A-194696049References: Upstream kernel (CVE-2021-39657)

  - In various setup methods of the USB gadget subsystem, there is a possible out of bounds write due to an     incorrect flag check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution     privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android     kernelAndroid ID: A-210292376References: Upstream kernel (CVE-2021-39685)

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's EBPF verifier when handling internal data structures.
    Internal memory locations could be returned to userspace. A local attacker with the permissions to insert     eBPF code to the kernel can use this to leak internal kernel memory details defeating some of the exploit     mitigations in place for the kernel. (CVE-2021-4159)

  - A use-after-free exists in drivers/tee/tee_shm.c in the TEE subsystem in the Linux kernel through 5.15.11.
    This occurs because of a race condition in tee_shm_get_from_id during an attempt to free a shared memory     object. (CVE-2021-44733)

  - pep_sock_accept in net/phonet/pep.c in the Linux kernel through 5.15.8 has a refcount leak.
    (CVE-2021-45095)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A null pointer dereference in bond_ipsec_add_sa() may lead to local     denial of service. (CVE-2022-0286)

  - A random memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel's GPU i915 kernel driver functionality in the     way a user may run malicious code on the GPU. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system or     escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-0330)

  - A stack overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel's TIPC protocol functionality in the way a user sends     a packet with malicious content where the number of domain member nodes is higher than the 64 allowed.
    This flaw allows a remote user to crash the system or possibly escalate their privileges if they have     access to the TIPC network. (CVE-2022-0435)

  - kernel: failing usercopy allows for use-after-free exploitation (CVE-2022-22942)

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