Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
EUVDB-ID: #VU9884
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 6.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:A/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2017-5753
CWE-ID:
CWE-200 - Information exposure
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists in Intel CPU hardware due to improper implementation of the speculative execution of instructions. A local attacker can perform a bounds check bypass, execute arbitrary code, conduct a side-channel attack and read sensitive memory information.
MitigationInstall update from vendor's website.
Vulnerable software versionsVxRack SDDC: before 5.1.2
CPE2.3 External linksQ & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
No. This vulnerability can be exploited locally. The attacker should have authentication credentials and successfully authenticate on the system.
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
Yes. This vulnerability is being exploited in the wild.
EUVDB-ID: #VU9883
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 5.4 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2017-5715
CWE-ID:
CWE-200 - Information exposure
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists in Intel CPU hardware due to improper implementation of the speculative execution of instructions. A local attacker can utilize branch target injection, execute arbitrary code, perform a side-channel attack and read sensitive memory information.

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-5754
CWE-ID:
CWE-200 - Information exposure
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists in Intel CPU hardware due to side-channel attacks, which are also referred to as Meltdown attacks. A local attacker can execute arbitrary code, perform a side-channel analysis of the data cache and gain access to sensitive information including memory from the CPU cache.
