CVE-2019-11135
On November 12, 2019, Intel shared information about a new mechanism similar to Microarchitectural Data Sampling (MDS), referred to as Transactional Synchronization Extensions (TSX) Asynchronous Abort (TAA). This mechanism affects CPUs that support TSX and the mitigations include additional means to clear buffers in software or disable TSX for those customers who do not use this functionality.
Dell EMC is working closely with Intel to release security updates to address this vulnerability and help customers ensure the security of the data and systems.
