Article Number	000036619
CVE ID	CVE-2018-3615, CVE-2018-3620, CVE-2018-3646
Article Summary	RSA is aware of a recently disclosed class of CPU speculative execution vulnerabilities (CVE-2018-3615, CVE-2018-3620, and CVE-2018-3646) known collectively as "L1 Terminal Fault" (L1TF) that affect Intel microprocessors. For more information on these vulnerabilities, please review the security advisory posted by Intel. RSA is investigating the impact of these vulnerabilities on our products and we are working with Intel and other industry partners to mitigate these vulnerabilities. Mitigation steps may vary by product and may include updates to firmware, operating system, and hypervisor components. RSA recommends customers follow security best practices for malware protection to help prevent possible exploitation of these vulnerabilities until any future updates can be applied. These practices include, but are not limited to, promptly deploying software updates, avoiding unknown hyperlinks and websites, never downloading files or applications from unknown sources, and employing up-to-date anti-virus and advanced threat protection solutions.
