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: x86/tdx: Panic on bad configs that #VE     on private memory access All normal kernel memory is TDX private memory. This includes everything from     kernel stacks to kernel text. Handling exceptions on arbitrary accesses to kernel memory is essentially     impossible because they can happen in horribly nasty places like kernel entry/exit. But, TDX hardware can     theoretically _deliver_ a virtualization exception (#VE) on any access to private memory. But, it's not as     bad as it sounds. TDX can be configured to never deliver these exceptions on private memory with a TD     attribute called ATTR_SEPT_VE_DISABLE. The guest has no way to *set* this attribute, but it can check it.
    Ensure ATTR_SEPT_VE_DISABLE is set in early boot. panic() if it is unset. There is no sane way for Linux     to run with this attribute clear so a panic() is appropriate. There's small window during boot before the     check where kernel has an early #VE handler. But the handler is only for port I/O and will also panic() as     soon as it sees any other #VE, such as a one generated by a private memory access.

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-2025:02173-1 advisory.

    The SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP5 kernel was updated to receive various security bugfixes.


    The following security bugs were fixed:

    - CVE-2022-49775: tcp: cdg: allow tcp_cdg_release() to be called multiple times (bsc#1242245).
    - CVE-2024-53168: net: make sock_inuse_add() available (bsc#1234887).
    - CVE-2024-56558: nfsd: make sure exp active before svc_export_show (bsc#1235100).
    - CVE-2025-21999: proc: fix UAF in proc_get_inode() (bsc#1240802).
    - CVE-2025-22056: netfilter: nft_tunnel: fix geneve_opt type confusion addition (bsc#1241525).
    - CVE-2025-23145: mptcp: fix NULL pointer in can_accept_new_subflow (bsc#1242596).
    - CVE-2025-37789: net: openvswitch: fix nested key length validation in the set() action (bsc#1242762).
    - CVE-2024-28956: x86/its: Add support for ITS-safe indirect thunk (bsc#1242006).
    - CVE-2025-37785: ext4: fix OOB read when checking dotdot dir (bsc#1241640).


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.
