Why this priority?

Improper conditions check in some Intel(R) Xeon(R) processor memory controller configurations when using Intel(R) SGX may allow a privileged user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.

From the Ubuntu Security Team

Avraham Shalev and Nagaraju N Kodalapura discovered that some Intel(R) Xeon(R) processors did not properly restrict access to the memory controller when using Intel(R) SGX. This may allow a local privileged attacker to further escalate their privileges.
