CVE ID:CVE-2020-10766
Description:A logic bug flaw was found in Linux kernel before 5.8-rc1 in the implementation of SSBD.

This issue was introduced when the per task/process conditional STIPB switching was added on top of the existing SSBD switching. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality.
