The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:0456-1 advisory.

  • Insufficient granularity of access control in out-of-band management in some Intel® Atom and Intel Xeon Scalable Processors may allow a privileged user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via adjacent network access. (CVE-2022-21216)

  • Incorrect default permissions in some memory controller configurations for some Intel® Xeon® Processors when using Intel® Software Guard Extensions which may allow a privileged user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. (CVE-2022-33196)

  • Improper isolation of shared resources in some Intel® Processors when using Intel® Software Guard Extensions may allow a privileged user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access.
    (CVE-2022-38090)

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