"The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLES15 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in
the SUSE-SU-2021:3301-1 advisory.
- Crypto++ (aka cryptopp and libcrypto++) 5.6.4 contained a bug in its ASN.1 BER decoding routine. The
library will allocate a memory block based on the length field of the ASN.1 object. If there is not enough
content octets in the ASN.1 object, then the function will fail and the memory block will be zeroed even
if its unused. There is a noticeable delay during the wipe for a large allocation. (CVE-2016-9939)
