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: ima: Fix memory leak in
    __ima_inode_hash() Commit f3cc6b25dcc5 (ima: always measure and audit files in policy) lets measurement     or audit happen even if the file digest cannot be calculated. As a result, iint->ima_hash could have been     allocated despite ima_collect_measurement() returning an error. Since ima_hash belongs to a temporary     inode metadata structure, declared at the beginning of __ima_inode_hash(), just add a kfree() call if     ima_collect_measurement() returns an error different from -ENOMEM (in that case, ima_hash should not have     been allocated). (CVE-2022-50577)

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-2025:4320-1 advisory.
