The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5319-1 advisory.

  • Non-transparent sharing of branch predictor selectors between contexts in some Intel® Processors may allow an authorized user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2022-0001)

  • Non-transparent sharing of branch predictor within a context in some Intel® Processors may allow an authorized user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2022-0002)

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