FreeBSD : Intel CPUs -- multiple vulnerabilities (d598266d-7772-4a31-9594-83b76b1fb837)

high Nessus Plugin ID 216216

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the d598266d-7772-4a31-9594-83b76b1fb837 advisory.

 Intel reports:

 A potential security vulnerability in some Intel Processors may allow denial of service. Intel released microcode updates to mitigate this potential vulnerability.


 A potential security vulnerability in some Intel Software Guard Extensions (Intel SGX) Platforms may allow denial of service. Intel is released microcode updates to mitigate this potential vulnerability.


 Potential security vulnerabilities in the UEFI firmware for some Intel Processors may allow escalation of privilege, denial of service, or information disclosure. Intel released UEFI firmware and CPU microcode updates to mitigate these potential vulnerabilities.


 A potential security vulnerability in some 13th and 14th Generation Intel Core Processors may allow denial of service. Intel released microcode and UEFI reference code updates to mitigate this potential vulnerability.


 A potential security vulnerability in the Intel Data Streaming Accelerator (Intel DSA) for some Intel Xeon Processors may allow denial of service. Intel released software updates to mitigate this potential vulnerability.


Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the FreeBSD security advisory.

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
