Out of bounds read under complex microarchitectural condition in memory subsystem for some Intel Atom(R) Processors may allow authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure or cause denial of service via network access.

The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the microcode_ctl-20220809-1.el9 build changelog.

  - Insufficient control flow management in some Intel(R) 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(R) Processors may allow an authenticated user to     potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2021-0145)

  - Out of bounds read under complex microarchitectural condition in memory subsystem for some Intel Atom(R)     Processors may allow authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure or cause denial of     service via network access. (CVE-2021-33120)

  - Sensitive information accessible by physical probing of JTAG interface for some Intel(R) Processors with     SGX may allow an unprivileged user to potentially enable information disclosure via physical access.
    (CVE-2022-0005)

  - Improper access control for some Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processors may allow an authenticated user to     potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2022-21131)

  - Improper input validation for some Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processors may allow a privileged user to potentially     enable denial of service via local access. (CVE-2022-21136)

  - Processor optimization removal or modification of security-critical code for some Intel(R) Processors may     allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access.
    (CVE-2022-21151)

  - Improper isolation of shared resources in some Intel(R) Processors may allow a privileged user to     potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2022-21233)

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

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5535-1 advisory.

    Joseph Nuzman discovered that some Intel processors did not properly initialise shared resources. A local     attacker could use this to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2021-0145)

    Mark Ermolov, Dmitry Sklyarov and Maxim Goryachy discovered that some Intel processors did not prevent     test and debug logic from being activated at runtime. A local attacker could use this to escalate     privileges. (CVE-2021-0146)

    It was discovered that some Intel processors did not implement sufficient control flow management. A local     attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2021-0127)

    It was discovered that some Intel processors did not completely perform cleanup actions on multi-core     shared buffers. A local attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2022-21123,     CVE-2022-21127)

    It was discovered that some Intel processors did not completely perform cleanup actions on     microarchitectural fill buffers. A local attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information.
    (CVE-2022-21125)

    Alysa Milburn, Jason Brandt, Avishai Redelman and Nir Lavi discovered that some Intel processors     improperly optimised security-critical code. A local attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive     information. (CVE-2022-21151)

    It was discovered that some Intel processors did not properly perform cleanup during specific special     register write operations. A local attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information.
    (CVE-2022-21166)

    It was discovered that some Intel processors did not properly restrict access in some situations. A local     attacker could use this to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2021-33117)

    Brandon Miller discovered that some Intel processors did not properly restrict access in some situations.
    A local attacker could use this to obtain sensitive information or a remote attacker could use this to     cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2021-33120)
