CVE-2022-23816

------------ On July 12, 2022, several CPU manufacturers, along with security researchers, announced security advisories addressing side-channel vulnerabilities in CPU hardware. VMware has issued a VMware Security Advisory (VMSA) covering these issues as they affect VMware software and customers. These issues are vulnerabilities in CPU hardware and not with VMware software. However, VMware can use the flexibility of the vSphere platforms to help affected customers mitigate the issues. Those mitigations are what we detail in the VMSA and in this list of questions and answers.
