    Debian Bug     : 1105172

    Microcode updates has been released for Intel(R) processors, addressing
    multiple potential vulnerabilties that may allow denial of service or
    information disclosure.

    CVE-2024-28956

        Exposure of Sensitive Information in Shared Microarchitectural
        Structures during Transient Execution for some Intel(R) Processors
        may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information
        disclosure via local access.

    CVE-2024-43420

        Exposure of sensitive information caused by shared
        microarchitectural predictor state that influences transient
        execution for some Intel Atom(R) processors may allow an
        authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via
        local access.

    CVE-2024-45332

        Exposure of sensitive information caused by shared
        microarchitectural predictor state that influences transient
        execution in the indirect branch predictors for some Intel(R)
        Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable
        information disclosure via local access.

    CVE-2025-20012

        Incorrect behavior order for some Intel(R) Core Ultra Processors
        may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable information
        disclosure via physical access.

    CVE-2025-20054

        Uncaught exception in the core management mechanism for some
        Intel(R) Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially
        enable denial of service via local access.

    CVE-2025-20103

        Insufficient resource pool in the core management mechanism for some
        Intel(R) Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially
        enable denial of service via local access.

    CVE-2025-20623

        Exposure of sensitive information caused by shared
        microarchitectural predictor state that influences transient
        execution for some Intel(R) Core processors (10th Generation) may
        allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information
        disclosure via local access.

    CVE-2025-24495

        Incorrect initialization of resource in the branch prediction unit
        for some Intel(R) Core Ultra Processors may allow an authenticated
        user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
    3.20250512.1~deb11u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your intel-microcode packages.
