Anyone able to explain why Intel’s severity rating for this is “important” and not “critical”; meaning of the terms per Intel’s own words:
“Critical: A vulnerability, which if exploited, would allow remote execution of malicious code without user action.”
“Important: A vulnerability, which if exploited, would directly impact the confidentiality, integrity or availability of user’s data or processing resources.“
