Published May 3, 2024
·
Updated

Hardware logic with insecure de-synchronization in Intel(R) DSA and Intel(R) IAA for some Intel(R) 4th or 5th generation Xeon(R) processors may allow an authorized user to potentially enable denial of service via local access.

Hardware logic with insecure de-synchronization in Intel(R) DSA and Intel(R) IAA for some Intel(R) 4th or 5th generation Xeon(R) processors may allow an authorized user to potentially enable escalation of privilege local access

— NVD

Intel DSA and IAA are vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a hardware logic with insecure de-synchronization. A local authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.

— IBM

On Sapphire Rapids and related platforms, the DSA and IAA devices have an erratum (INTEL-SA-01084) that causes direct access (for example, by using the ENQCMD or MOVDIR64 instructions) from untrusted applications to be a security problem.
