CVE-2025-26403 is an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the memory subsystem of some Intel Xeon 6 processors. According to the provided content, the flaw is present when Intel Software Guard Extensions (SGX) or Intel Trust Domain Extensions (TDX) is enabled and in use. The issue is attributed to insufficient bounds checking in memory operations associated with the SGX/TDX implementation, allowing writes beyond intended memory boundaries. Intel states that exploitation may allow a privileged local user to potentially enable escalation of privilege. The issue affects Intel Xeon 6 processors on the Birch Stream server platform, including listed P-core and E-core variants, and is addressed through Intel-released microcode updates distributed via system firmware updates from OEMs.
