Summary
Red Hat Enhancement Advisory: microcode_ctl bug fix and enhancement update
Severity
Important
Notes
Topic: An update for microcode_ctl is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.
Details: The microcode_ctl packages provide microcode updates for Intel x86 processors. With this update, the Intel microcode version has been updated to microcode-20191112. Users of microcode_ctl are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which add this enhancement.

A flaw was found in the implementation of SGX around the access control of protected memory. This flaw allows a local attacker of a system with SGX enabled and an affected intel GPU with the ability to execute code to interpret the contents of the SGX protected memory.

CWE-200 - Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
Vendor Fix For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes described in this advisory, refer to: https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 Note: a system reboot is necessary for this update to take effect. https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHEA-2020:0635
Workaround As of this time there are no known mitigations. Please install relevant updated packages to address this flaw.

Improper conditions check in the voltage modulation interface for some Intel(R) Xeon(R) Scalable Processors may allow a privileged user to potentially enable denial of service via local access.

CWE-440 - Expected Behavior Violation
Vendor Fix For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes described in this advisory, refer to: https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 Note: a system reboot is necessary for this update to take effect. https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHEA-2020:0635
Workaround As of this time there are no known mitigations. Please install relevant updated packages to address this flaw.
