NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream intel-microcode package and not the intel-microcode package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

Observable discrepancy in the RAPL interface for some Intel(R) Processors may allow a privileged user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access.
