For Linux kernel versions through 6.6.5, consider updating to a version that includes the necessary fix for the
sec attest info function to prevent information leaks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the sec attest info function until a patch is available. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.Exploitability
