With this Intel Thread Director Virtualization to ensure the VM can properly manage task placement between P and E cores, the feature ended up yielding around 14% better performance than the status quo. That 14% win was with the 3DMark benchmark running on a Windows VM.

Backdoor implies it was deliberately put there. Looking at the CVE it does not seem intentional so just an exploit.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
