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.

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.

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.

Gather Date Sampling (GDS) is a transient execution side channel vulnerability affecting certain Intel processor. In this flaw, a local attack using gather instruction (load from memory) may infer stale data from previously used vector registers on the same physical core.

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.

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 hw. In certain processors with Intel's Enhanced Indirect Branch Restricted Speculation (eIBRS) capabilities, soon after VM exit or IBPB command event, the linear address following the most recent near CALL instruction prior to a VM exit may be used as the Return Stack Buffer (RSB) prediction.

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

Sensitive information accessible by physical probing of JTAG interface for some Intel(R) Processors with SGX may allow an unprivileged user to potentially enable information disclosure via physical access.

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.

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.

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
