A potential security vulnerability in CPUs may allow information disclosure.  Intel is has released Microcode Updates (MCU) updates to mitigate this potential vulnerability.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID: CVE-2018-12126

Microarchitectural Store Buffer Data Sampling (MSBDS): Store buffers on some microprocessors utilizing speculative execution may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via a side channel with local access.

CVEID: CVE-2018-12127

Microarchitectural Load Port Data Sampling (MLPDS): Load ports on some microprocessors utilizing speculative execution may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via a side channel with local access.

CVEID: CVE-2018-12130

Microarchitectural Fill Buffer Data Sampling (MFBDS): Fill buffers on some microprocessors utilizing speculative execution may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via a side channel with local access.

CVEID: CVE-2019-11091

Microarchitectural Data Sampling Uncacheable Memory (MDSUM): Uncacheable memory on some microprocessors utilizing speculative execution may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via a side channel with local access.


The patches KB4558130 for Windows 10 version 2004, and KB4497165 for Windows 10 version 1909/1903 include microcode updates that fix the above flaws.
