CVE-2025-35979 Details
Description
Exposure of sensitive information caused by shared microarchitectural predictor state that influences transient execution for some Intel(R) Processors within VMX non-root (guest) operation may allow an information disclosure. Unprivileged software adversary with an authenticated user combined with a high complexity attack may enable data exposure. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (high), integrity (none) and availability (none) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (high), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.
A vulnerability allowing information disclosure exists in some Intel processors due to shared microarchitectural predictor state that affects transient execution. This issue arises within VMX non-root (guest) operation and may be exploited by an unprivileged software adversary with an authenticated user. The attack, which has high complexity, could lead to data exposure. The vulnerability requires local access, without special internal knowledge, and no user interaction. It may impact the confidentiality of the vulnerable system, with potential subsequent impacts on system confidentiality as well.
Users of affected Intel processors are advised to update to the latest version of firmware provided by their system manufacturer that addresses this issue.
