Description
A potential domain bypass transient execution vulnerability was discovered on some Intel Atom® processors that uses a microarchitectural incidental channel.

As a consequence, this issue may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
