CVE-2020-8696: Medium severity microcode vulnerability

A flaw was found in the Intel Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) implementation, where a local authenticated attacker with the ability to execute AVX instructions can gather the AVX register state from previous AVX executions. This vulnerability allows information disclosure of the AVX register state.

Improper removal of sensitive information before storage or transfer in some Intel(R) Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access.
