"Stephan van Schaik, Alyssa Milburn, Sebastian Osterlund, Pietro
Frigo, Kaveh Razavi, Herbert Bos, Cristiano Giuffrida, Giorgi
Maisuradze, Moritz Lipp, Michael Schwarz, Daniel Gruss, and Jo Van
Bulck discovered that Intel processors using Transactional
Synchronization Extensions (TSX) could expose memory contents
previously stored in microarchitectural buffers to a malicious process
that is executing on the same CPU core. A local attacker could use
this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2019-11135)

It was discovered that certain Intel Xeon processors did not properly
restrict access to a voltage modulation interface. A local privileged
attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
(CVE-2019-11139).

description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable
has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible
without introducing additional issues.");
