"MITRE Rolls Out 4 Brand-New CWEs for Microprocessor Security Bugs"

The MITRE-led Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) program has added four new microprocessor-related vulnerabilities to its list of common software and hardware flaws. Of the updates included in CWE Version 4.14, the latest version of the popular resource for describing and documenting various types of weaknesses, the new CWEs are the most signficiant. The CWEs stem from a collaboration between Intel, AMD, Arm, Riscure, and Cycuity, providing processor designers and security practitioners in the semiconductor industry with a common language for discussing flaws in modern microprocessor architectures. Stakeholders can use CWEs to identify and mitigate weaknesses that lead to vulnerabilities in microprocessor technologies. This article continues to discuss the four new CWEs for microprocessor security bugs.
