All Intel® SGX SDK for Linux versions 2.6.100.51363 and earlier.

Recommendations:

Solution Developers should update their Intel® SGX SDK to Windows* version 2.5.101.3 (or later) or Linux version 2.7.101.3 (or later):

• Windows* developers can find latest SGX SDK here: <https://registrationcenter.intel.com/en/forms/?productid=2614&gt;
• Linux developers can find latest SGX SDK here: <https://01.org/intel-software-guard-extensions/downloads&gt;

Solution Developers should recompile their affected SGX application enclaves with the updated Intel SGX SDK, and re-issue the application. Solution Developers should also increase the Security Version Numbers (ISVSVN) of their updated SGX application enclaves.

Developers implementing their own SDK should review the documentation and code changes issued with the Intel SGX SDK for Linux.
