The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2021:2303 advisory.

  • hw: vt-d related privilege escalation (CVE-2020-24489)

  • hw: improper isolation of shared resources in some Intel Processors (CVE-2020-24511)

  • hw: observable timing discrepancy in some Intel Processors (CVE-2020-24512)

  • hw: information disclosure on some Intel Atom processors (CVE-2020-24513)

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