Summary

Multiple NetApp products incorporate Intel chipsets and processors. Certain processor products supporting Intel® Software Guard Extensions (Intel® SGX) are susceptible to multiple speculative execution side-channel methods referred to as L1 Terminal Fault (L1TF). These methods may allow an unauthorized disclosure of information residing in the L1 data cache to a local attacker.

Impact
