Summary:
A potential security vulnerability in Intel® Software Guard Extensions (SGX) SDK may allow escalation of privilege. Intel is releasing software updates to mitigate this potential vulnerability.
Vulnerability Details:
CVEID: CVE-2020-0561
Description: Improper initialization in the Intel(R) SGX SDK may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.
CVSS Base Score: 2.5 Low
CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N
Affected Products:
Intel® SGX SDK before v2.6.100.1 for Windows*, and
Intel® SGX SDK before v2.8.100.1 for Linux
Recommendations:
Intel recommends updating the Intel® SGX SDK for Windows* to v2.6.100.1 or later.
Intel recommends updating the Intel® SGX SDK for Linux to v2.8.100.1 or later.
Updates are available for download at these locations:
Intel® SGX SDK for Windows*:

For those SGX application enclaves which use floating point, solution developers should recompile their affected enclaves with the updated Intel SGX SDK, and re-issue the application. Affected solution developers should also consider increasing the Security Version Numbers (ISVSVN) of their updated SGX application enclaves.
Developers implementing their own SDK should review the documentation and code changes issued with the Intel SGX SDK for Linux.
