The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:0502-1 advisory.

Insufficient control flow management in some Intel® Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable a denial of service via local access. (CVE-2021-0127)
Improper initialization of shared resources in some Intel® Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2021-0145)
Hardware allows activation of test or debug logic at runtime for some Intel® processors which may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via physical access. (CVE-2021-0146)
Out of bounds read under complex microarchitectural condition in memory subsystem for some Intel Atom® Processors may allow authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure or cause denial of service via network access. (CVE-2021-33120)

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