Intel released security updates to address 27 vulnerabilities as part of March 2020 Patch Tuesday, with ten of them being high severity security flaws impacting Intel's Graphics Drivers for Windows and the Smart Sound Technology integrated audio DSP in Intel Core and Intel Atom CPUs.

The security issues patched today are detailed in the nine security advisories published by Intel on its Security Center, with the company providing download links for security updates available through the drivers and software download center.

The vulnerabilities disclosed today may allow authenticated or privileged users to potentially access sensitive information, to trigger denial-of-service states, and escalate privileges via local access.

Some of the advisories feature a detailed list of all affected products, recommendations for vulnerable products, as well as contact details for users and researchers who want to report other security flaws found in Intel branded software or hardware products.
