The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:2557-1 advisory.
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 write operations for some Intel® Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2022-21166)
Aliases in the branch predictor may cause some AMD processors to predict the wrong branch type potentially leading to information disclosure. (CVE-2022-23825)
Mis-trained branch predictions for return instructions may allow arbitrary speculative code execution under certain microarchitecture-dependent conditions. (CVE-2022-29900)
insufficient TLB flush for x86 PV guests in shadow mode For migration as well as to work around kernels unaware of L1TF (see XSA-273), PV guests may be run in shadow paging mode. To address XSA-401, code was moved inside a function in Xen. This code movement missed a variable changing meaning / value between old and new code positions. The now wrong use of the variable did lead to a wrong TLB flush condition, omitting flushes where such are necessary. (CVE-2022-33745)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
