Intel has released 16 new security advisories, which address 41 
vulnerabilities. The advisories, some with 'high' severity ratings, appear to 
cover the full gamut of Intel catalog, including processors, devices, firmware, 
drivers and software. For example, several generations of Core processors and 
enterprise (Xeon) chips have newly disclosed vulnerabilities on the processor 
side. Then there are flaws and vulnerabilities in products like Optane SSD 
firmware, NUC firmware, Linux Kernel drivers, and the XTU tuning software.

The Intel Processor advisory has been given the CVEID of CVE-2022-21151. It is 
described in summary as "a potential security vulnerability in some Intel 
Processors may allow information disclosure." It is 'only' a medium severity 
rating vulnerability. We think this is because it requires an authenticated 
user with local access to exploit the chance to "potentially enable information 
disclosure" from the processor.
