The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2024:3976-1 advisory.

    pcp was updated from version 3.11.9 to version 6.2.0 (jsc#PED-8192, jsc#PED-8389):

    - Security issues fixed:

      * CVE-2024-45770: Fixed a symlink attack that allows escalating from the pcp to the root user     (bsc#1230552)
      * CVE-2024-45769: Fixed a heap corruption through metric pmstore operations (bsc#1230551)
      * CVE-2023-6917: Fixed local privilege escalation from pcp user to root in /usr/libexec/pcp/lib/pmproxy     (bsc#1217826)
      * CVE-2024-3019: Disabled redis proxy by default (bsc#1222121)

    - Major changes:

      * Add version 3 PCP archive support: instance domain change-deltas,         Y2038-safe timestamps, nanosecond-precision timestamps, arbitrary timezones support, 64-bit file     offsets used         throughout for larger (beyond 2GB) individual volumes.
        - Opt-in using the /etc/pcp.conf PCP_ARCHIVE_VERSION setting
        - Version 2 archives remain the default (for next few years).
      * Switch to using OpenSSL only throughout PCP (dropped NSS/NSPR);
        this impacts on libpcp, PMAPI clients and PMCD use of encryption;
        these are now configured and used consistently with pmproxy HTTPS support and redis-server, which were     both already         using OpenSSL.
      * New nanosecond precision timestamp PMAPI calls for PCP library interfaces that make use of timestamps.
        These are all optional, and full backward compatibility is preserved for existing tools.
      * For the full list of changes please consult the packaged CHANGELOG file

    - Other packaging changes:

      * Reintroduce libuv support for SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 (bsc#1231345)
      * Moved pmlogger_daily into main package (bsc#1222815)
      * Switched logutil and pmieutil scripts from Type=oneshot to Type=exec (bsc#1186511)
      * Change dependency from openssl-devel >= 1.1.1 to openssl-devel >= 1.0.2p.
        Required for SUSE Linux Enterprise 12.
      * Disabled 'pmda-infiniband' subpackage for SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 to resolve build issues.
      * Introduce 'pmda-resctrl' package, disabled for architectures other than x86_64.
      * Change the architecture for various subpackages to 'noarch' as they contain no binaries.
      * Disable 'pmda-mssql', as it fails to build.

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.
