The remote SUSE Linux SLES11 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2020:14540-1 advisory.

  • Observable discrepancy in the RAPL interface for some Intel® Processors may allow a privileged user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2020-8695)

  • Improper isolation of shared resources in some Intel® Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2020-8698)

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