+Description: 
+ The Linux kernel before 2.6.16.9 and the FreeBSD kernel, when running on
+ AMD64 and other 7th and 8th generation AuthenticAMD processors, only
+ save/restore the FOP, FIP, and FDP x87 registers in FXSAVE/FXRSTOR when an
+ exception is pending, which allows one process to determine portions of the
+ state of floating point instructions of other processes, which can be
+ leveraged to obtain sensitive information such as cryptographic keys. NOTE:
+ this is the documented behavior of AMD64 processors, but it is inconsistent
+ with Intel processers in a security-relevant fashion that was not addressed
+ by the kernels.
