The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:2117-1 advisory.

  • Twisted is an event-based framework for internet applications, supporting Python 3.6+. Prior to 22.2.0, Twisted SSH client and server implement is able to accept an infinite amount of data for the peer’s SSH version identifier. This ends up with a buffer using all the available memory. The attach is a simple as nc -rv localhost 22 < /dev/zero. A patch is available in version 22.2.0. There are currently no known workarounds. (CVE-2022-21716)

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