Description

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Intel system software for Trusted Execution Technology (TXT) allow attackers to bypass intended loader integrity protections, as demonstrated by exploitation of tboot.

However, because it is from a well-known researcher, it is being assigned a CVE identifier for tracking purposes.
