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

Time-of-check time-of-use race condition in the BIOS firmware for some Intel(R) Processors may allow a privileged user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.

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

Hardware allows activation of test or debug logic at runtime for some Intel(R) Trace Hub instances which may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via physical access.

Load value injection in some Intel(R) Processors utilizing speculative execution may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via a side channel with local access.

A flaw was found in the implementation of Intel Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) where a local authenticated attacker with the ability to execute AVX instructions is able to gather AVX register state from previous AVX executions.

This could allow information disclosure of AVX register state.

A flaw was found in Intel processors where a local attacker is able to gain information about registers used for vector calculations by observing register states from other processes running on the system. This results in a race condition where store buffers, which were not cleared, could be read by another process or a CPU sibling. The highest threat from this vulnerability is data confidentiality where an attacker could read arbitrary data as it passes through the processor.

A flaw was found during cache eviction on some Intel processors which may allow a local attacker to infer cache contents and disclose information through this side-channel.

A vulnerability was found in Intel's implementation of RAPL (Running Average Power Limit). An attacker with a local account could query the power management functionality to intelligently infer SGX enclave computation values by measuring power usage in the RAPL subsystem.

Insufficient access control in the Linux kernel driver for some Intel(R) Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access.

Improper input validation in the BIOS firmware for some Intel(R) Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable denial of service via adjacent access.
