Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-12126)

The vulnerability allows a local authenticated user to gain access to sensitive information.

Microarchitectural Store Buffer Data Sampling (MSBDS): Store buffers on some microprocessors utilizing speculative execution may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via a side channel with local access. A list of impacted products can be found here: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/corporate-information/SA00233-microcode-update-guidance_05132019.pdf


2) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-12127)

The vulnerability allows a local authenticated user to gain access to sensitive information.

Microarchitectural Load Port Data Sampling (MLPDS): Load ports on some microprocessors utilizing speculative execution may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via a side channel with local access. A list of impacted products can be found here: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/corporate-information/SA00233-microcode-update-guidance_05132019.pdf


3) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-12130)

The vulnerability allows a local authenticated user to gain access to sensitive information.

Microarchitectural Fill Buffer Data Sampling (MFBDS): Fill buffers on some microprocessors utilizing speculative execution may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via a side channel with local access. A list of impacted products can be found here: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/corporate-information/SA00233-microcode-update-guidance_05132019.pdf


4) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-20815)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the deprecated "load_image" function, as defined in the "device_tree.c" file. A remote attacker can submit a large image file to the affected system, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


5) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-11091)

The vulnerability allows a local authenticated user to gain access to sensitive information.

Microarchitectural Data Sampling Uncacheable Memory (MDSUM): Uncacheable memory on some microprocessors utilizing speculative execution may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via a side channel with local access. A list of impacted products can be found here: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/corporate-information/SA00233-microcode-update-guidance_05132019.pdf
