"The remote Fedora 38 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
FEDORA-2023-8334fe0ecb advisory.
- Mishandling of guest SSBD selection on AMD hardware The current logic to set SSBD on AMD Family 17h and
Hygon Family 18h processors requires that the setting of SSBD is coordinated at a core level, as the
setting is shared between threads. Logic was introduced to keep track of how many threads require SSBD
active in order to coordinate it, such logic relies on using a per-core counter of threads that have SSBD
active. When running on the mentioned hardware, it's possible for a guest to under or overflow the thread
counter, because each write to VIRT_SPEC_CTRL.SSBD by the guest gets propagated to the helper that does
the per-core active accounting. Underflowing the counter causes the value to get saturated, and thus
attempts for guests running on the same core to set SSBD won't have effect because the hypervisor assumes
it's already active. (CVE-2022-42336)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
