Intel Releases New CPU Microcode For Two New Security Advisories
It's the second Tuesday of the month and this Patch Tuesday brings new CPU microcode for mitigating the latest Intel processor security vulnerabilities and updates to some previously disclosed issues.
The new CPU microcode published today mitigates for Intel SA-01101 as a medium severity denial of service vulnerability. Some 4th and 5th Gen Xeon Scalable processors may allow for denial of service conditions while the new firmware will address those issues around faulty finite state machines (FSMs) within the hardware logic. Imrpoer condition checks within Intel Xeon CPUs with SGX could allow privilege escalation via local access.
