Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-7149-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'intel-microcode' package(s) announced via the USN-7149-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'intel-microcode' package(s) announced via the USN-7149-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Avraham Shalev and Nagaraju N Kodalapura discovered that some Intel(R) Xeon(R) processors did not properly restrict access to the memory controller when using Intel(R) SGX. This may allow a local privileged attacker to further escalate their privileges. (CVE-2024-21820, CVE-2024-23918) It was discovered that some 4th and 5th Generation Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processors did not properly implement finite state machines (FSMs) in hardware logic. THis may allow a local privileged attacker to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2024-21853) It was discovered that some Intel(R) Processors did not properly restrict access to the Running Average Power Limit (RAPL) interface. This may allow a local privileged attacker to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2024-23984) It was discovered that some Intel(R) Processors did not properly implement finite state machines (FSMs) in hardware logic. This may allow a local privileged attacker to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2024-24968) Affected Software/OS: 'intel-microcode' package(s) on Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 18.04, Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 22.04, Ubuntu 24.04, Ubuntu 24.10. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
