Security Bulletin: Vulnerabilities in Intel CPUs affect IBM Integrated Analytics System

Summary

Potential security vulnerabilities in CPUs may allow information disclosure. Intel released Microcode Updates (MCU) updates to mitigate this potential vulnerability. IBM Integrated Analytics System has addressed the applicable CVE.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID: CVE-2019-11091 DESCRIPTION: Intel Microprocessor could allow a local authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a Microarchitectural Data Sampling Uncacheable Memory (MDSUM) vulnerability that allows uncacheable memory on some microprocessors utilizing speculative execution. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a side-channel attack to obtain data that is being processed in the CPU by other apps. Note: This is called the Zombieload attack.
CVSS Base Score: 3.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/160993&gt; for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N)

CVEID: CVE-2018-12130 DESCRIPTION: Intel Microprocessor could allow a local authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a Microarchitectural Data Sampling (MDS) vulnerability that fills buffers on some microprocessors utilizing speculative execution. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a side-channel attack to obtain data that is being processed in the CPU by other apps. Note: This is called the Zombieload attack.
CVSS Base Score: 6.5
