CVE-2018-12190
Insufficient input validation in Intel(r) CSME subsystem before versions 11.8.60, 11.11.60, 11.22.60 or 12.0.20 or Intel(r) TXE before 3.1.60 or 4.0.10 may allow a privileged user to potentially enable an escalation of privilege via local access.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.38%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
