The remote SUSE Linux SLES11 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2019:14215-1 advisory.
GNU Tar through 1.30, when --sparse is used, mishandles file shrinkage during read access, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (infinite read loop in sparse_dump_region in sparse.c) by modifying a file that is supposed to be archived by a different user’s process (e.g., a system backup running as root). (CVE-2018-20482)
pax_decode_header in sparse.c in GNU Tar before 1.32 had a NULL pointer dereference when parsing certain archives that have malformed extended headers. (CVE-2019-9923)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
