Vulnerability Details

CVEID:   CVE-2020-12362
DESCRIPTION:   Intel Graphics Drivers could allow a local authenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by an integer overflow in the firmware. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain elevated privileges on the system.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/196564 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H)

CVEID:   CVE-2020-12363
DESCRIPTION:   Intel Graphics Drivers are vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by improper input validation. A local authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 1.9
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/196581 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

CVEID:   CVE-2020-12364
DESCRIPTION:   Intel Graphics Drivers are vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a NULL pointer reference error. A local authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 1.9
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/196582 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

CVEID:   CVE-2020-27170
DESCRIPTION:   Linux Kernel could allow a local authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by an out-of-bounds loads flaw. By executing specially-crafted BPF programs, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain contents of kernel memory, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
CVSS Base score: 5.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/198453 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)

CVEID:   CVE-2020-8648
DESCRIPTION:   Linux kernel could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a use-after-free in the n_tty_receive_buf_common function of drivers/tty/n_tty.c. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to read memory that should not be available for access.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/175843 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)

CVEID:   CVE-2021-3347
DESCRIPTION:   Linux Kernel could allow a local authenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by a kernel stack use-after-free during fault handling in PI futexes. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain elevated privileges and execute arbitrary code in the kernel.
CVSS Base score: 7.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/195798 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

DESCRIPTION:   Intel Processors could allow a local authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by improper isolation of shared resources. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information.
CVSS Base score: 5.6
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/203398 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N)

CVEID:   CVE-2020-24512
DESCRIPTION:   Intel Processors could allow a local authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by the observable timing discrepancy issue. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information.
CVSS Base score: 2.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/203396 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N)

CVEID:   CVE-2020-24513
DESCRIPTION:   Intel Atom could allow a local authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by domain-bypass transient execution vulnerability. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information.
CVSS Base score: 5.6
