Hardware debug modes and processor INIT setting that allow override of locks for some Intel(R) Processors in Intel(R) Boot Guard and Intel(R) TXT may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via physical 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.

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.

Improper input validation in the Intel(R) SGX SDK applications compiled for SGX2 enabled processors may allow a privileged user to potentially escalation of privilege via local access.

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

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.

A flaw was found in Intel® VT-d products. Entries from the context cache on some types of context cache invalidations may not be properly invalidated which may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.

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

Insecure inherited permissions in some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi products on Windows 7 and 8.1 before version 21.40.5.1 may allow an authenticated 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.

A flaw was found in Intel graphics hardware (GPU) where a local attacker with the ability to issue an ioctl could trigger a hardware level crash if MMIO registers were read while the graphics card was in a low-power state.

This creates a denial of service situation and the GPU and connected displays will remain unusable until a reboot occurs.

Intel plans to release BIOS firmware, along with updates supplied by Red Hat should mitigate this vulnerability.

Some older hardware will not have BIOS firmware update and will rely on operating system level protection to prevent access while the device is in low-power states.

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.
