The remote SUSE Linux SUSE15 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2021:2940-1 advisory.

  • In Python before 3,9,5, the ipaddress library mishandles leading zero characters in the octets of an IP address string. This (in some situations) allows attackers to bypass access control that is based on IP addresses. (CVE-2021-29921)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
