The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202402-22 (intel-microcode: Multiple Vulnerabilities)

  • Insufficient control flow management in some Intel® Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable a denial of service via local access. (CVE-2021-0127)

  • Hardware allows activation of test or debug logic at runtime for some Intel® processors which may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via physical access. (CVE-2021-0146)

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