The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2023:7244 advisory.

  • hw amd: Return Address Predictor vulnerability leading to information disclosure (CVE-2023-20569)

  • hw: amd: Cross-Process Information Leak (CVE-2023-20593)

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