"The remote SUSE Linux SLED12 / SLED_SAP12 / SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has packages installed that are affected by a
vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2024:1135-1 advisory.

  - c-ares is a C library for asynchronous DNS requests. `ares__read_line()` is used to parse local
    configuration files such as `/etc/resolv.conf`, `/etc/nsswitch.conf`, the `HOSTALIASES` file, and if using
    a c-ares version prior to 1.27.0, the `/etc/hosts` file. If any of these configuration files has an
    embedded `NULL` character as the first character in a new line, it can lead to attempting to read memory
    prior to the start of the given buffer which may result in a crash. This issue is fixed in c-ares 1.27.0.
    No known workarounds exist. (CVE-2024-25629)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
