USN-4628-1 provided updated Intel Processor Microcode for various processor
types. This update provides the corresponding updates for some additional
processor types.
Original advisory details:
Moritz Lipp, Michael Schwarz, Andreas Kogler, David Oswald, Catherine
Easdon, Claudio Canella, and Daniel Gruss discovered that the Intel Running
Average Power Limit (RAPL) feature of some Intel processors allowed a side-
channel attack based on power consumption measurements. A local attacker
could possibly use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2020-8695)
Ezra Caltum, Joseph Nuzman, Nir Shildan and Ofir Joseff discovered that
some Intel® Processors did not properly remove sensitive information
before storage or transfer in some situations. A local attacker could
possibly use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2020-8696)
Ezra Caltum, Joseph Nuzman, Nir Shildan and Ofir Joseff discovered that
some Intel® Processors did not properly isolate shared resources in some
