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: powerpc/papr_scm: Fix leaking     nvdimm_events_map elements Right now 'char *' elements allocated for individual 'stat_id' in     'papr_scm_priv.nvdimm_events_map[]' during papr_scm_pmu_check_events(), get leaked in papr_scm_remove()     and papr_scm_pmu_register(), papr_scm_pmu_check_events() error paths. Also individual 'stat_id' arent NULL     terminated 'char *' instead they are fixed 8-byte sized identifiers. However papr_scm_pmu_register()     assumes it to be a NULL terminated 'char *' and at other places it assumes it to be a     'papr_scm_perf_stat.stat_id' sized string which is 8-byes in size. Fix this by allocating the memory for     papr_scm_priv.nvdimm_events_map to also include space for 'stat_id' entries. This is possible since number     of available events/stat_ids are known upfront. This saves some memory and one extra level of indirection     from 'nvdimm_events_map' to 'stat_id'. Also rest of the code can continue to call     'kfree(papr_scm_priv.nvdimm_events_map)' without needing to iterate over the array and free up individual     elements. (CVE-2022-49436)

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-2025:1241-1 advisory.

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.
