A vulnerability was found in Intelโs implementation of RAPL (Running Average Power Limit). An attacker with a local account could query the power management functionality to intelligently infer SGX enclave computation values by measuring power usage in the RAPL subsystem.
Until a firmware update and reboot can be applied, the attack vector can be reduced by limiting read access to the sysfs attributes that export this functionality to userspace.
The command:
sudo chmod 400 /sys/class/powercap/intel_rapl/*/energy_uj
Will do this for the current boot, it will need to be scripted to run at each boot to remain persistent across reboots.
