Researchers from University of Birmingham, KU Leuven and TU Graz provided Intel
with a Paper and Proof of Concept (POC) in June 2019 and researchers from
Technische UniversitAt Darmstadt and University of California provided a Paper
and Proof of Concept (POC) in early August 2019. Intel subsequently confirmed
each submission demonstrated this individually.
Researchers from University of Maryland and Tsinghua University provided Intel
with a Paper in late August 2019 describing this issue.
Intel, and nearly the entire technology industry, follows a disclosure practice
called Coordinated Disclosure, under which a cybersecurity vulnerability is
generally publicly disclosed only after mitigations are available.
