Intel(R) Processors (affected versions not specified)
Description
Incorrect data forwarding during transient execution within Ring 0 (Hypervisor and Kernel) may lead to the exposure of sensitive information. A system software adversary with privileged user access could potentially execute a high-complexity attack via local access to enable data exposure. This issue requires no user interaction but necessitates special internal knowledge to exploit, resulting in a high impact on system confidentiality.
Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
