Intel prepares to release a new security patch for Zombieland
According to the company's blog post, of these two new problems, one is considered low risk and the other medium risk. Both require authenticated local access, which means that a hacker should not be able to exploit these flaws remotely. These new issues are closely related to issues that were addressed in May and November 2019 as Intel has worked to progressively reduce the vulnerability of the MDS.
