2) Observable Response Discrepancy
EUVDB-ID: #VU48372
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 1.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2020-8695
CWE-ID:
CWE-204 - Observable Response Discrepancy
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to observable discrepancy in the Running Average Power Limit (RAPL) Interface. A local administrator can gain access to sensitive information on the target system.
