The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2021:3806-1 advisory.

    The SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP3 kernel for Azure was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.


    The following security bugs were fixed:

    - Unprivileged BPF has been disabled by default to reduce attack surface as too many security issues have     happened in the past (jsc#SLE-22573)

      You can reenable via systemctl setting /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_bpf_disabled to 0.
    (kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled = 0)

    - CVE-2021-0941: In bpf_skb_change_head of filter.c, there is a possible out of bounds read due to a use     after free. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User     interaction is not needed for exploitation (bnc#1192045).
    - CVE-2021-31916: An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory write flaw was found in list_devices in drivers/md/dm-     ioctl.c in the Multi-device driver module in the Linux kernel A bound check failure allowed an attacker     with special user (CAP_SYS_ADMIN) privilege to gain access to out-of-bounds memory leading to a system     crash or a leak of internal kernel information. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system     availability (bnc#1192781).
    - CVE-2021-20322: Make the ipv4 and ipv6 ICMP exception caches less predictive to avoid information leaks     about UDP ports in use. (bsc#1191790)
    - CVE-2021-34981: Fixed file refcounting in cmtp when cmtp_attach_device fails  (bsc#1191961).
    - CVE-2021-43389: There was an array-index-out-of-bounds flaw in the detach_capi_ctr function in     drivers/isdn/capi/kcapi.c (bnc#1191958).
    - CVE-2021-37159: hso_free_net_device in drivers/net/usb/hso.c called unregister_netdev without checking     for the NETREG_REGISTERED state, leading to a use-after-free and a double free (bnc#1188601).


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.
