Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Intel processors (affected versions not specified)
Description
The issue is related to the implementation of Intel Transactional Synchronization Extensions (TSX) technology in Intel processor microcode, which lacks protection for service data. This may allow an authenticated user with local access to potentially enable information disclosure via a side channel. The vulnerability can be exploited to obtain sensitive information and affect the system. It is also associated with a new variant of the Zombieload attack, known as ZombieLoad 2.0, which can extract confidential information from other processes, the operating system, virtual machines, and protected enclaves. The problem only affects Intel processors.
Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
