The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2024:1229-1 advisory.

  • When a router encounters an IPv6 packet too big to transmit to the next-hop, it returns an ICMP6 Packet Too Big (PTB) message to the sender. The sender caches this updated Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) so it knows not to exceed this value when subsequently routing to the same host. (CVE-2023-52340)

  • An out-of-bounds memory read flaw was found in receive_encrypted_standard in fs/smb/client/smb2ops.c in the SMB Client sub-component in the Linux Kernel. This issue occurs due to integer underflow on the memcpy length, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2024-0565)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
