A flaw was found in hw. Non-transparent sharing of branch predictor targets between contexts in some Intel(R) processors may potentially allow an authorized user to enable information disclosure via local access.

A new domain bypass transient execution attack known as Special Register Buffer Data Sampling (SRBDS) has been found. This flaw allows data values from special internal registers to be leaked by an attacker able to execute code on any core of the CPU. An unprivileged, local attacker can use this flaw to infer values returned by affected instructions known to be commonly used during cryptographic operations that rely on uniqueness, secrecy, or both.

Insufficiently protected credentials in USB provisioning for Intel(R) AMT SDK before version 16.0.3, Intel(R) SCS before version 12.2 and Intel(R) MEBx before versions 11.0.0.0012, 12.0.0.0011, 14.0.0.0004 and 15.0.0.0004 may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via physical 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.
