The remote Fedora 39 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2024-9e9f53d01d advisory.

  • Information exposure through microarchitectural state after transient execution from some register files for some Intelยฎ Atomยฎ Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2023-28746)

  • A Speculative Race Condition (SRC) vulnerability that impacts modern CPU architectures supporting speculative execution (related to Spectre V1) has been disclosed. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to disclose arbitrary data from the CPU using race conditions to access the speculative executable code paths. (CVE-2024-2193)

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