Intel Patches High Severity Flaws in Windows Graphics Drivers

Intel released security updates to address 27 vulnerabilities as part of March 2020 Patch Tuesday. Ten of them are high severity security flaws affecting Intel’s Graphics Drivers for Windows and the Smart Sound Technology integrated audio DSP in Intel Core and Intel Atom CPUs. Intel also addressed a vulnerability (CVE-2020-0551) allowing for a novel class of attack techniques against modern Intel processors that can help attackers inject malicious data into apps via transient-execution attacks and steal sensitive data. The new vulnerability dubbed LVI (short for Load Value Injection) bypasses all. Intel says it does not believe LVI is a practical exploit in real-world environments where OS and VMM are trusted.
