The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2024:3319-1 advisory.

This update for the Linux Kernel 5.14.21-150500_13_58 fixes several issues.

The following security issues were fixed:

- CVE-2024-40909: Fix a potential use-after-free in bpf_link_free() (bsc#1228349).
- CVE-2023-52846: Prevent use after free in prp_create_tagged_frame() (bsc#1225099).
- CVE-2024-26923: Fixed false-positive lockdep splat for spin_lock() in __unix_gc() (bsc#1223683).

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

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