The remote SUSE Linux SUSE15 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2021:2861-1 advisory.

  • Systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative execution and branch prediction may allow unauthorized disclosure of information to an attacker with local user access via a side-channel analysis.
    (CVE-2017-5753)

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