"The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced
in the SUSE-SU-2022:2645-1 advisory.
- ** DISPUTED ** Null Pointer Dereference vulnerability exists in numpy.sort in NumPy < and 1.19 in the
PyArray_DescrNew function due to missing return-value validation, which allows attackers to conduct DoS
attacks by repetitively creating sort arrays. NOTE: While correct that validation is missing, an error can
only occur due to an exhaustion of memory. If the user can exhaust memory, they are already privileged.
Further, it should be practically impossible to construct an attack which can target the memory exhaustion
to occur at exactly this place. (CVE-2021-41495)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
