Intel NUC mini-computers got an update for an escalation of privilege bug rated as a "High" risk.

Intel's BlueZ Bluetooth component has been updated with a fix for a high-risk flaw that would potentially allow information disclosure or denial of service attacks.

SmartSound, a component in both the 10th and 8th generation Intel CPUs, has received a patch for a flaw that would allow an unauthenticated user to elevate privileges and move through a target system.
