The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:4174-1 advisory.

  • The vulnerability exists due to a reachable assertion when handling negative quota values in C Xenstored.
    A malicious guest can craft a transaction that forces C Xenstored to check quota value and perform a denial of service attack. (CVE-2023-34323)

  • The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in libfsimage. A remote guest can use pygrab to trigger stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the host system (CVE-2023-34325)

  • The vulnerability exists due to missing IOMMU TLB flushing on x86/AMD systems. A malicious guest can access memory not owned by the guest and escalate privileges on the system. (CVE-2023-34326)

  • The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of guest state when using Debug Masks in HVM vCPU. A malicious guest can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack against the guest OS. (CVE-2023-34327)

  • The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of guest state in PV vCPU. A malicious guest place a breakpoint over the live GDT and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack against the host.
    (CVE-2023-34328)

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