New! Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR)
Tenable calculates a dynamic VPR for every vulnerability. VPR combines vulnerability information with threat intelligence and machine learning algorithms to predict which vulnerabilities are most likely to be exploited in attacks. Read more about what VPR is and how it's different from CVSS.

Synopsis
The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.
Description
This update provides mitigations for the Spectre v4 variant in x86-based micro processors. On Intel CPUs this requires updated microcode which is currently not released publicly (but your hardware vendor may have issued an update). For servers with AMD CPUs no microcode update is needed, please refer to https://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/advisory-263.html for further information.
Solution
Upgrade the xen packages.
For the stable distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed in version 4.8.3+xsa262+shim4.10.0+comet3-1+deb9u7.
