Description

This security bulletin contains information about 7 secuirty vulnerabilities.

1) Information exposure through microarchitectural state after transient execution (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-36348)

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

The vulnerability exists due to information leak. A local user process can infer the control registers speculatively even if UMIP[3] feature is enabled, potentially resulting in information leakage.

2) Information exposure through microarchitectural state after transient execution (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-36349)

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

The vulnerability exists due to information leak. A local user process can infer TSC_AUX even when such a read is disabled, potentially resulting in information leakage.

3) Information exposure through microarchitectural state after transient execution (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-36350)

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

The vulnerability exists due to information leak. A local user can obtain sensitive data from previous stores.

4) Information exposure through microarchitectural state after transient execution (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-36357)

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

The vulnerability exists due to information leak. A local user can obtain sensitive data from the L1D cache.

5) Improper restriction of software interfaces to hardware features (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-48869)

The vulnerability allows a local administrator to escalate privileges on the system.

6) Insufficient Control Flow Management (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-20004)

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient control flow management in the Alias Checking Trusted Module. A local administrator can gain elevated privileges on the target system.

7) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-20100)

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain unauthorized access to otherwise restricted functionality.

The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions in the memory controller configurations. A local administrator can bypass implemented security restrictions and gain elevated privileges on the target system.
