The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/i915/bios: fix a memory leak in     generate_lfp_data_ptrs When (size != 0 || ptrs->lvds_ entries != 3), the program tries to free() the ptrs.
    However, the ptrs is not created by calling kzmalloc(), but is obtained by pointer offset operation. This     may lead to memory leaks or undefined behavior. Fix this by replacing the arguments of kfree() with     ptrs_block. (cherry picked from commit 7674cd0b7d28b952151c3df26bbfa7e07eb2b4ec) (CVE-2022-50287)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2025:03615-1 advisory.
