Do you actually proofread this stuff before posting it?

A privileged attacker (Administrator or root) is required to access APIC MMIO.

That's not a freaking vulnerability. If somebody already has root access, you're already screwed. The likelihood of this actually being utilized in the real world is so freaking small. I'm so tired of these AI driven exploits that can't actually be exploited in a real world situation.

Like most of these cleverly-named vulnerabilities, this one is mostly a non-issue. The only people who need to be worried are those who are running multiple clients on a single server (i.e. cloud) and guess what... if they're in any way competent, they aren't running anything as admin/root. If they're not competent, then they deserve whatever pain they get and they should fix their setup.

It's almost like you can't protect against stupid.
