The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:3569-1 advisory.

    Security issues fixed:

    - CVE-2026-0864: improper handling of line-ending characters can lead to configuration file injection when     the       `configparser` module is used (bsc#1269066).
    - CVE-2026-3276: quadratic complexity in `unicodedata.normalize()` can lead to DoS when processing     specially crafted       Unicode input (bsc#1267581).
    - CVE-2026-4360: in the Tarfile.extract() function, the filter parameter is not passed properly when     extracting       hardlinks (bsc#1269959).
    - CVE-2026-7210: `xml.parsers.expat` and `xml.etree.ElementTree` use insufficient entropy for Expat hash-     flooding       protection (bsc#1264962).
    - CVE-2026-7774: `tarfile.data_filter` path traversal bypass allows writing outside the extraction     directory       (bsc#1267821).
    - CVE-2026-8328: `ftpcp()` does not use actual peer address and trusts server-supplied PASV host address     (bsc#1265268).
    - CVE-2026-11940: tarfile extraction filter bypass via a crafted archive allows escaping the destination     directory and       enables arbitrary file reads and writes (bsc#1268977).
    - CVE-2026-11972: infinite loop due to improper EOF handling in the tarfile module streaming mode can lead     to DoS       (bsc#1269788).
    - CVE-2026-15308: Incremental HTMLParser allows CPU-exhaustion DoS via repeated unterminated markup     declarations       (bsc#1271192).

    Non security issues fixed:

    - [kernel 7.1] udplite was removed -> python fails in tests (bsc#1268375).
    - crypto-policies: Extend the crypto-policies support for mozilla-nss, openjdk, krb5, bind, stunnel,     openssh, libssh and       more packages (bsc#1211301).

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.
