Platform sample code firmware included with 4th Gen Intel Core Processor, 5th Gen Intel Core Processor, 6th Gen Intel Core Processor, and 7th Gen Intel Core Processor potentially exposes password information in memory to a local attacker with administrative privileges.

Systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative execution and branch prediction may allow unauthorized disclosure of information to an attacker with local user access via a speculative buffer overflow and side-channel analysis.

System software utilizing Lazy FP state restore technique on systems using Intel Core-based microprocessors may potentially allow a local process to infer data from another process through a speculative execution side channel.

Configuration of SPI Flash in platforms based on multiple Intel platforms allow a local attacker to alter the behavior of the SPI flash potentially leading to a Denial of Service.

Systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative execution may allow unauthorized disclosure of information to an attacker with local user access via a side-channel attack on the directional branch predictor, as demonstrated by a pattern history table (PHT), aka BranchScope.

Systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative execution and indirect branch prediction may allow unauthorized disclosure of information to an attacker with local user access via a side-channel analysis of the data cache.
