Title:Missing Linux Kernel mitigations for 'SRBDS - Special Register Buffer Data Sampling' hardware vulnerabilities
Summary:The remote host is missing one or more known mitigation(s) on; Linux Kernel side for the referenced 'SRBDS - Special Register Buffer Data Sampling' hardware; vulnerabilities.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing one or more known mitigation(s) on
Linux Kernel side for the referenced 'SRBDS - Special Register Buffer Data Sampling' hardware
vulnerabilities.

Solution:
The following solutions exist:

- Update to a more recent Linux Kernel to receive mitigations on Kernel level and info about
the mitigation status from it

- Enable the mitigation(s) in the Linux Kernel (might be disabled depending on the configuration)

Additional possible mitigations (if provided by the vendor) are to:

- install a Microcode update

- update the BIOS of the Mainboard

Note: Please create an override for this result if one of the following applies:

- the sysfs file is not available but other mitigations like a Microcode update is already in
place

- the sysfs file is not available but the CPU of the host is not affected

- the reporting of the Linux Kernel is not correct (this is out of the control of this VT)
