It was discovered that some Intel® Core™ Ultra Processors did not properly isolate the stream cache. A local authenticated user could potentially use this to escalate their privileges. (CVE-2023-42667) It was discovered that some Intel® Processors did not properly isolate the stream cache. A local authenticated user could potentially use this to escalate their privileges. (CVE-2023-49141) It was discovered that some Intel® Processors did not correctly transition between the executive monitor and SMI transfer monitor (STM). A privileged local attacker could use this to escalate their privileges. (CVE-2024-24853) It was discovered that some 3rd, 4th, and 5th Generation Intel® Xeon® Processors failed to properly implement a protection mechanism.
