1) Information disclosure
EUVDB-ID: #VU19946
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 8.3 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:U/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1125
CWE-ID:
CWE-200 - Information exposure
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information and elevate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists when certain central processing units (CPU) speculatively access memory. A local user can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information and elevate privileges on the system.
This issue is a variant of the Spectre Variant 1 speculative execution side channel vulnerability that leverages SWAPGS instructions to bypass KPTI/KVA mitigations.
