The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 9d8e9952-5a42-11ef-a219-1c697a616631 advisory.

Intel reports:

          A potential security vulnerability in SMI Transfer monitor (STM) may               allow escalation of privilege.  Intel has released microcode updates               to mitigate this potential vulnerability.


          A potential security vulnerability in some 3rd Generation Intel Xeon               Scalable Processors may allow denial of service.  Intel has released               microcode updates to mitigate this potential vulnerability.


          A potential security vulnerability in some 3rd, 4th, and 5th               Generation Intel Xeon Processors may allow escalation of privilege.
          Intel has released firmware updates to mitigate this potential               vulnerability.


          A potential security vulnerability in the Intel Core Ultra Processor               stream cache mechanism may allow escalation of privilege.  Intel has               released microcode updates to mitigate this potential vulnerability.


          A potential security vulnerability in some Intel Processor stream               cache mechanisms may allow escalation of privilege.  Intel has               released microcode updates to mitigate this potential vulnerability.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the FreeBSD security advisory.

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