Synopsis

The remote Windows host is missing a microcode update.

Description

The remote Windows host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, missing microcode updates to address the following vulnerabilities:

 - Microarchitectural Data Sampling Uncacheable Memory (MDSUM) (CVE-2019-11091)
 - Microarchitectural Store Buffer Data Sampling (MSBDS) (CVE-2018-12126)
 - Microarchitectural Load Port Data Sampling (MLPDS) (CVE-2018-12127)
 - Microarchitectural Fill Buffer Data Sampling (MFBDS) (CVE-2018-12130)

Note that Nessus did not actually test for these flaws nor checked the target processor architecture but instead, has relied on the version of mcupdate_GenuineIntel.dll to be latest for supported Windows release.

Solution

Microsoft has released security updates for Windows 10, Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server 2019.
