The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:4441-1 advisory.

  • Sequence of processor instructions leads to unexpected behavior for some Intelยฎ Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege and/or information disclosure and/or denial of service via local access. (CVE-2023-23583)

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