3Rd Gen Intel R Xeon R Scalable Processors
Monthly
Hardware logic race conditions in 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Processors expose server environments to local denial of service. The flaw resides within Ring 3 (user-space) processor logic, where a low-privileged authenticated local user can exploit the race condition - provided they possess specialized internal knowledge of processor timing - to crash or destabilize the affected system. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV; however, the CVSS 4.0 score of 6.8 reflects the high availability impact across both the vulnerable system and any subsequent workloads sharing the hardware.
