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.

A flaw was found in Intel graphics hardware (GPU) where a local attacker with the ability to issue commands to the GPU which could inadvertently lead to memory corruption and possibly privilege escalation.

The attacker could use the GPU blitter to perform privilege MMIO operations not limited to the address space required to function correctly. This would expose the blitter to access kernel memory with a specially crafted request to the blitter.

Affected hardware:

- Ivy Bridge(Gen 7) and later, - Cherry Trail (Gen8) and newer mobile, desktop and embedded processors. - Intel Xeon E3-1200 v4 and later product families.

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.

A flaw was found in computer hardware of the Intel microprocessors related to the instruction-side TLB (Translation Lookaside Buffer) that caches translations from guest (and host) virtual addresses into physical addresses.

This is a software fix that attempts to prevent exploitation of the hardware through preventing a hacker from creating an exploitable condition

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. The list of affected products is provided in intel-sa-00334: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/security-center/advisory/intel-sa-00334.html

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 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.

Insufficient control flow management in some Intel(R) Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable a denial of service via local access.

Insufficient control flow in certain data structures for some Intel(R) Processors with Intel(R) Processor Graphics may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access.

Improper input validation for some Intel(R) Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially cause a denial of service 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.

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.
