The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:3903-1 advisory.
A division-by-zero error on some AMD processors can potentially return speculative data resulting in loss of confidentiality. (CVE-2023-20588)
An issue in Zen 2 CPUs, under specific microarchitectural circumstances, may allow an attacker to potentially access sensitive information. (CVE-2023-20593)
The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources when running PV guests in shadow paging mode. A malicious guest can run a specially crafted application on the system that causes shortage of memory in the associated with the domain shadow pool and forces Xen to tear down page tables. This can result in memory leak, denial of service or privilege escalation. (CVE-2023-34322)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
