"The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in
the SUSE-SU-2023:0277-1 advisory.
- A flaw was found in hw. Mis-trained branch predictions for return instructions may allow arbitrary
speculative code execution under certain microarchitecture-dependent conditions. (CVE-2022-23816)
(CVE-2022-2602)
- A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's SGI GRU driver in the way the first
gru_file_unlocked_ioctl function is called by the user, where a fail pass occurs in the
gru_check_chiplet_assignment function. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate
their privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-3424)
- A use-after-free vulnerability was found in __nfs42_ssc_open() in fs/nfs/nfs4file.c in the Linux kernel.
This flaw allows an attacker to conduct a remote denial (CVE-2022-4379)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
