Description Gianluca Gabrielli 2021-11-12 08:57:50 UTC 
Hardware allows activation of test and debug logic at runtime for some Intel(R) processors which may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via physical access.

Comment 1 Marcus Meissner 2021-11-12 12:52:56 UTC 
While the CPU Microcode is updated, there are currently will be no Linux updates for this.

Reason is that the fix must be loaded from BIOS (cold boot), so loading it later would not mitigate the issue.
Comment 2 Marcus Meissner 2021-11-12 12:53:49 UTC 
This bug will wait for the next ucode-intel release.
