** Description changed:
- [execution in the early microcode loader x86/intel] Guard against stack
- overflow in the loader mc_saved_tmp is a static array allocated on the
- stack, we need to make sure mc_saved_count stays within its bounds,
- otherwise we're overflowing the stack in _save_mc(). A specially crafted
- microcode header could lead to a kernel crash or potentially kernel
- execution.
+ Stack-based buffer overflow in the get_matching_model_microcode function in
+ arch/x86/kernel/cpu/microcode/intel_early.c in the Linux kernel before 4.0
+ allows context-dependent attackers to gain privileges by constructing a
+ crafted microcode header and leveraging root privileges for write access to
+ the initrd.
