"The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced
in the SUSE-SU-2023:4545-1 advisory.
- Squid is a caching proxy for the Web supporting HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and more. Due to a NULL pointer
dereference bug Squid is vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack against Squid's Gopher gateway. The
gopher protocol is always available and enabled in Squid prior to Squid 6.0.1. Responses triggering this
bug are possible to be received from any gopher server, even those without malicious intent. Gopher
support has been removed in Squid version 6.0.1. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade
should reject all gopher URL requests. (CVE-2023-46728)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
