"The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in
the SUSE-SU-2021:3742-1 advisory.

  - This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Linux Kernel
    5.14-rc3. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in
    order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the handling of eBPF programs. The
    issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied eBPF programs, which can result in a
    type confusion condition. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute
    arbitrary code in the context of the kernel. Was ZDI-CAN-14689. (CVE-2021-34866)

  - prealloc_elems_and_freelist in kernel/bpf/stackmap.c in the Linux kernel before 5.14.12 allows
    unprivileged users to trigger an eBPF multiplication integer overflow with a resultant out-of-bounds
    write. (CVE-2021-41864)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
