Vulnerabilities

Intel microprocessor generations 6 to 8 are affected by a new Spectre variant that is able to bypass their retpoline mitigation in the kernel to leak arbitrary data.

Processor optimization removal or modification of security-critical code for some Intel(R) Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access.

Improper input validation in the firmware for some Intel(R) Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable an escalation of privilege via local access.

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

Out-of-bounds read in the firmware for some Intel(R) Processors may allow a privileged user to potentially enable an escalation of privilege via local access.
