Out-of-bounds write in the firmware for some Intel(R) Processors may allow a privileged user to potentially enable an escalation of privilege via local access.

Pointer issues in the firmware for some Intel(R) Processors may allow a privileged user to potentially enable an escalation of privilege via local access.

Unchecked return value in the firmware for some Intel(R) Processors may allow a privileged user to potentially enable an escalation of privilege via local access.

Insecure default variable initialization for the Intel BSSA DFT feature may allow a privileged user to potentially enable an escalation of privilege via local access.

Improper access control in the BIOS firmware for some Intel(R) Processors may allow a privileged user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.

Out-of-bounds read in the firmware for some Intel(R) Processors may allow a privileged user to potentially enable an escalation of privilege via local access.

Improper initialization in the firmware for some Intel(R) Processors may allow a privileged user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via physical access.

A flaw was found in hw. The Intra-mode BTI refers to a variant of Branch Target Injection aka SpectreV2 (BTI) where an indirect branch speculates to an aliased predictor entry for a different indirect branch in the same predictor mode, and a disclosure gadget at the predicted target transiently executes. These predictor entries may contain targets corresponding to the targets of an indirect near jump, indirect near call, and near return instructions, even if these branches were only transiently executed. The managed runtimes provide an attacker with the means to create the aliasing required for intra-mode BTI attacks.

A potential domain bypass transient execution vulnerability was discovered on some Intel Atom® processors that uses a microarchitectural incidental channel. Currently this channel can reveal supervisor data in the L1 cache and the contents of recent stores. As a consequence, this issue may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access.

Improper initialization in the firmware for some Intel(R) Processors may allow a privileged user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via physical access.

Configuration of SPI Flash in platforms based on multiple Intel platforms allow a local attacker to alter the behavior of the SPI flash potentially leading to a Denial of Service.

Improper isolation of shared resources in some Intel(R) Processors may allow a privileged user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access.

Insufficient control flow management in the BIOS firmware for some Intel(R) Processors may allow a privileged user to potentially enable denial of service via local access.
