The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:3601-1 advisory.

  - An integer overflow vulnerability was found in vmwgfx driver in drivers/gpu/vmxgfx/vmxgfx_execbuf.c in GPU     component of Linux kernel with device file '/dev/dri/renderD128 (or Dxxx)'. This flaw allows a local     attacker with a user account on the system to gain privilege, causing a denial of service(DoS).
    (CVE-2022-36402)

  - The specific flaw exists within the DPT I2O Controller driver. The issue results from the lack of proper     locking when performing operations on an object. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other     vulnerabilities to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of the kernel.
    (CVE-2023-2007)

  - A division-by-zero error on some AMD processors can potentially return speculative data resulting in loss     of confidentiality. (CVE-2023-20588)

  - A division-by-zero error on some AMD processors can potentially return speculative data resulting in loss     of confidentiality. (CVE-2023-20588) (CVE-2023-34319)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's IP framework for transforming packets (XFRM subsystem). This issue     may allow a malicious user with CAP_NET_ADMIN privileges to directly dereference a NULL pointer in     xfrm_update_ae_params(), leading to a possible kernel crash and denial of service. (CVE-2023-3772)

  - An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel's TUN/TAP device driver functionality in     how a user generates a malicious (too big) networking packet when napi frags is enabled. This flaw allows     a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2023-3812)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in nfc_llcp_find_local in net/nfc/llcp_core.c in NFC in the Linux kernel.
    This flaw allows a local user with special privileges to impact a kernel information leak issue.
    (CVE-2023-3863)

  - An issue was discovered in l2cap_sock_release in net/bluetooth/l2cap_sock.c in the Linux kernel before     6.4.10. There is a use-after-free because the children of an sk are mishandled. (CVE-2023-40283)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in net/sched/cls_fw.c in classifiers (cls_fw, cls_u32, and cls_route) in     the Linux Kernel. This flaw allows a local attacker to perform a local privilege escalation due to     incorrect handling of the existing filter, leading to a kernel information leak issue. (CVE-2023-4128)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the siano smsusb module in the Linux kernel. The bug occurs     during device initialization when the siano device is plugged in. This flaw allows a local user to crash     the system, causing a denial of service condition. (CVE-2023-4132)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the cxgb4 driver in the Linux kernel. The bug occurs when the     cxgb4 device is detaching due to a possible rearming of the flower_stats_timer from the work queue. This     flaw allows a local user to crash the system, causing a denial of service condition. (CVE-2023-4133)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's TUN/TAP functionality. This issue could allow a local user to     bypass network filters and gain unauthorized access to some resources. The original patches fixing     CVE-2023-1076 are incorrect or incomplete. The problem is that the following upstream commits -     a096ccca6e50 (tun: tun_chr_open(): correctly initialize socket uid), - 66b2c338adce (tap: tap_open():
    correctly initialize socket uid), pass inode->i_uid to sock_init_data_uid() as the last parameter and     that turns out to not be accurate. (CVE-2023-4194)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in dbFree in fs/jfs/jfs_dmap.c in the journaling file system     (JFS) in the Linux Kernel. This issue may allow a local attacker to crash the system due to a missing     sanity check. (CVE-2023-4385)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in vmxnet3_rq_alloc_rx_buf in drivers/net/vmxnet3/vmxnet3_drv.c in     VMware's vmxnet3 ethernet NIC driver in the Linux Kernel. This issue could allow a local attacker to crash     the system due to a double-free while cleaning up vmxnet3_rq_cleanup_all, which could also lead to a     kernel information leak problem. (CVE-2023-4387)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in vmxnet3_rq_cleanup in drivers/net/vmxnet3/vmxnet3_drv.c in     the networking sub-component in vmxnet3 in the Linux Kernel. This issue may allow a local attacker with     normal user privilege to cause a denial of service due to a missing sanity check during cleanup.
    (CVE-2023-4459)

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