Summary
Updated microcodes for Intel processors, fixing various functional
issues, and atleast the following security issues:
Incomplete cleanup in some Intel(R) VT-d products may allow an
authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege
via local access (CVE-2020-24489).
Improper isolation of shared resources in some Intel(R) Processors may
allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure
via local access (CVE-2020-24511).
Domain-bypass transient execution vulnerability in some Intel Atom(R)
Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information
disclosure via local access (CVE-2020-24513).
