CVE-2018-12130
Microarchitectural Fill Buffer Data Sampling (MFBDS): Fill buffers on some microprocessors utilizing speculative execution may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via a side channel with local access.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.55%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
