The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:3446-1 advisory.
Information exposure through microarchitectural state after transient execution in certain vector execution units for some Intel® Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2022-40982)
A side channel vulnerability on some of the AMD CPUs may allow an attacker to influence the return address prediction. This may result in speculative execution at an attacker-controlled?address, potentially leading to information disclosure. (CVE-2023-20569)
An issue in Zen 2 CPUs, under specific microarchitectural circumstances, may allow an attacker to potentially access sensitive information. (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.
