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 Ubuntu.

Hardware allows activation of test or debug logic at runtime for some Intel(R) processors which may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via physical access.
