It's not a problem of SGX, but a problem of TSX. TSX breaks the security
guarantees provided by SGX, or VMX.

The TSX problem is not limited to attacking SGX, but also stealing memory
from Dom0 in Xen, or memory from the kernel of Host OS. To solve this
problem, TSX needs to be completely removed/disabled. It's a long-existing
problem. Intel tried to remove TSX from a couple of commercial SKUs but
haven't done it completely.

Best,
