Return of pointer value outside of expected range in the BIOS firmware for some Intel(R) Processors may allow a privileged user to potentially enable aescalation of privilege via local access.

Improper access control in the BIOS authenticated code module for some Intel(R) Processors may allow a privileged user to potentially enable aescalation of privilege via local access.

Use of out-of-range pointer offset in the BIOS firmware for some Intel(R) Processors may allow a privileged user to potentially enable aescalation of privilege via local access.

Improper input validation in the BIOS firmware for some Intel(R) Processors may allow a privileged user to potentially enable aescalation of privilege via local access.

Out-of-bounds write in the BIOS authenticated code module for some Intel(R) Processors may allow a privileged user to potentially enable aescalation 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

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