"The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in
the SUSE-SU-2023:4839-1 advisory.

  - Incorrect verifier pruning in BPF in Linux Kernel >=5.4 leads to unsafe code paths being incorrectly
    marked as safe, resulting in arbitrary read/write in kernel memory, lateral privilege escalation, and
    container escape. (CVE-2023-2163)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter: nf_tables component can be exploited to
    achieve local privilege escalation. When nf_tables_delrule() is flushing table rules, it is not checked
    whether the chain is bound and the chain's owner rule can also release the objects in certain
    circumstances. We recommend upgrading past commit 6eaf41e87a223ae6f8e7a28d6e78384ad7e407f8.
    (CVE-2023-3777)

number.");
