CVE ID: CVE-2018-3639 and CVE-2018-3640
Dell is aware of the side-channel vulnerabilities known as Speculative Store Bypass (CVE-2018-3639) and Rogue System Register Read (CVE-2018-3640) affecting many modern microprocessors that were published by researchers from Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) and Google Project Zero on May 21, 2018. An unprivileged attacker with local user access to the system could potentially leverage these vulnerabilities to read privileged memory data. For more information, please review security updates posted by Intel.
Dell is investigating the impact of these issues on our products. We will update this article regularly with impact details and mitigation steps as they become available. Mitigation steps may vary by product and may require updates to processor microcode (BIOS), Operating System (OS), and other software components.
Dell recommends customers to follow security best practices for malware protection to help prevent possible exploitation of these vulnerabilities until any future updates can be applied. These practices include, but are not limited to, promptly deploying software updates, avoiding hyperlinks, websites, files or applications from unknown sources, and employing up-to-date anti-virus and advanced threat protection solutions.
For information on other Dell products, please see index?page=content&actp=search&id=sln318302.
The systems below are affected and will receive updated firmware via Dell BIOS release (BIOS update). Dates in this list are dependent on microcode delivery from CPU Vendors. These dates are estimates provided for customer planning purposes and will be updated with links to download packages when available.
