The remote AlmaLinux 8 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALSA-2021:3027 advisory.

  • Incomplete cleanup from specific special register read operations in some Intel® Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2020-0543)

  • Cleanup errors in some Intel® Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2020-0548)

  • Cleanup errors in some data cache evictions for some Intel® Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2020-0549)

  • Observable discrepancy in the RAPL interface for some Intel® Processors may allow a privileged user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2020-8695)

  • Improper removal of sensitive information before storage or transfer in some Intel® Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2020-8696)

  • Improper isolation of shared resources in some Intel® Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2020-24511, CVE-2020-8698)

  • Incomplete cleanup in some Intel® VT-d products may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. (CVE-2020-24489)

  • Observable timing discrepancy in some Intel® Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2020-24512)

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