It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2022-2022-127 advisory.

  • Aliases in the branch predictor may cause some AMD processors to predict the wrong branch type potentially leading to information disclosure. (CVE-2022-23825)

  • Non-transparent sharing of return predictor targets between contexts in some Intel® Processors may allow an authorized user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2022-26373)

  • A flaw was found in hw. Mis-trained branch predictions for return instructions may allow arbitrary speculative code execution under certain microarchitecture-dependent conditions. (CVE-2022-28693)

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