Senserva AI Opinion for CVE-2024-36357

This is a hardware side-channel issue, an AMD transient scheduler attack against the CPU's L1 data queue, rather than a Windows code defect, affecting Windows 10 1809 and Server 2019 systems running on vulnerable AMD processors, rated Critical 9.8 with a 22 percent EPSS score. Side-channel CPU flaws like this typically require a microcode or firmware update from the hardware vendor in addition to any OS-level mitigation, so remediation may extend beyond a normal Windows patch. It has not been confirmed exploited or tied to ransomware.

Do this: Check for AMD microcode or firmware updates for affected processors in addition to applying the Windows-side mitigation.
