  - 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.");
