"The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 4.05, has kernel packages installed that are affected by a
vulnerability:
- An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern
microprocessor designs have implemented speculative
execution of instructions (a commonly used performance
optimization). There are three primary variants of the
issue which differ in the way the speculative execution
can be exploited. Variant CVE-2017-5715 triggers the
speculative execution by utilizing branch target
injection. It relies on the presence of a precisely-
defined instruction sequence in the privileged code as
well as the fact that memory accesses may cause
allocation into the microprocessor's data cache even for
speculatively executed instructions that never actually
commit (retire). As a result, an unprivileged attacker
could use this flaw to cross the syscall and guest/host
boundaries and read privileged memory by conducting
targeted cache side-channel attacks. (CVE-2017-5715)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
