The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the microcode_ctl-20220809-1.el9 build changelog.

  • Insufficient control flow management in some Intel® Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable a denial of service via local access. (CVE-2021-0127)

  • Improper initialization of shared resources in some Intel® Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2021-0145)

  • Out of bounds read under complex microarchitectural condition in memory subsystem for some Intel Atom® Processors may allow authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure or cause denial of service via network access. (CVE-2021-33120)

  • Sensitive information accessible by physical probing of JTAG interface for some Intel® Processors with SGX may allow an unprivileged user to potentially enable information disclosure via physical access.
    (CVE-2022-0005)

  • Improper access control for some Intel® Xeon® Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2022-21131)

  • Improper input validation for some Intel® Xeon® Processors may allow a privileged user to potentially enable denial of service via local access. (CVE-2022-21136)

  • Processor optimization removal or modification of security-critical code for some Intel® Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access.
    (CVE-2022-21151)

  • Improper isolation of shared resources in some Intel® Processors may allow a privileged user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2022-21233)

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