Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:0576-1 advisory.

 - 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)

 - Hardware allows activation of test or debug logic at runtime for some Intel(R) processors which may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via physical access. (CVE-2021-0146)
