"The version of microcode_ctl installed on the remote host is prior to 2.1-47. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2024-2635 advisory.
2024-10-10: CVE-2024-22374 was added to this advisory.
Improper isolation in some Intel(R) Processors stream cache mechanism may allow an authenticated user to
potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. (CVE-2023-49141)
Insufficient control flow management for some Intel(R) Xeon Processors may allow an authenticated user to
potentially enable denial of service via local access. (CVE-2024-22374)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
