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

  - The Elliptic package 6.5.7 for Node.js, in its for ECDSA implementation, does not correctly verify valid     signatures if the hash contains at least four leading 0 bytes and when the order of the elliptic curve's     base point is smaller than the hash, because of an _truncateToN anomaly. This leads to valid signatures     being rejected. Legitimate transactions or communications may be incorrectly flagged as invalid.
    (CVE-2024-48948)

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

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2024:3771-1 advisory.

    - CVE-2024-48949: Fixed elliptic: Missing Validation in Elliptic's EDDSA Signature Verification     (bsc#1231564)
    - CVE-2024-9014: Fixed OAuth2 issue that could lead to information leak (bsc#1230928)

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.
