Summary
Joseph Nuzman discovered that some Intel processors did not properly
initialise shared resources. A local attacker could use this to obtain
sensitive information. (CVE-2021-0145)
Mark Ermolov, Dmitry Sklyarov and Maxim Goryachy discovered that some Intel
processors did not prevent test and debug logic from being activated at
runtime. A local attacker could use this to escalate
privileges. (CVE-2021-0146)
It was discovered that some Intel processors did not implement sufficient
control flow management. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial
of service (system crash). (CVE-2021-0127)
It was discovered that some Intel processors did not completely perform
cleanup actions on multi-core shared buffers. A local attacker could
possibly use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2022-21123,
CVE-2022-21127)
It was discovered that some Intel processors did not completely perform
cleanup actions on microarchitectural fill buffers. A local attacker could
possibly use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2022-21125)
Alysa Milburn, Jason Brandt, Avishai Redelman and Nir Lavi discovered that
some Intel processors improperly optimised security-critical code. A local
attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive
information. (CVE-2022-21151)
It was discovered that some Intel processors did not properly perform
cleanup during specific special register write operations. A local attacker
could possibly use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2022-21166)
It was discovered that some Intel processors did not properly restrict
access in some situations. A local attacker could use this to obtain
sensitive information. (CVE-2021-33117)
Brandon Miller discovered that some Intel processors did not properly
restrict access in some situations. A local attacker could use this to
obtain sensitive information or a remote attacker could use this to
cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2021-33120)
