Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains one low risk vulnerability.
EUVDB-ID: #VU64377
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-21180
CWE-ID:
CWE-20 - Improper input validation
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation in Memory Mapped I/O (MMIO) for some 14nm Client/Xeon E3 Intel® Processors. A local user can pass specially crafted input and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack in certain virtualized environments.
MitigationInstall updates from vendor's website.
