The remote OracleVM system is missing necessary patches to address security updates:
Incomplete cleanup of multi-core shared buffers for some Intel® Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2022-21123)
Incomplete cleanup of microarchitectural fill buffers on some Intel® Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2022-21125)
Incomplete cleanup in specific special register read operations for some Intel® Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2022-21127)
Incomplete cleanup in specific special register write operations for some Intel® Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2022-21166)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
