 CVE-2024-48869:
 Improper restriction of software interfaces to hardware features for some Intel(R) Xeon(R) 6 processor with E-cores when using Intel(R) Trust Domain Extensions (Intel(R) TDX) or Intel(R) Software Guard Extensions (Intel(R) SGX) may allow a privileged user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.
