Also in August 2023 a new vulnerability called Downfall or Gather Data Sampling was disclosed, [63] [64] [65] affecting Intel CPU Skylake, Cascade Lake, Cooper Lake, Ice Lake, Tiger Lake, Amber Lake, Kaby Lake, Coffee Lake, Whiskey Lake, Comet Lake & Rocket Lake CPU families. Intel will release a microcode update for affected products.
Reptar is a CPU vulnerability discovered in late 2023, affecting a number of recent families of Intel x86 CPUs. According to The Register, the following CPU families are vulnerable: Alder Lake, Raptor Lake and Sapphire Rapids. [1] The Reptar vulnerability relates to processing of x86 instruction prefixes in ways that lead to unexpected behavior ...
Intel promised microcode updates to resolve the vulnerability. [1] The microcode patches have been shown to significantly reduce the performance of some heavily-vectorized loads. [7] Patches to mitigate the effects of the vulnerability have also been created as part of the forthcoming version 6.5 release of the Linux kernel. [8]
The vulnerability is known to affect Skylake and later processors from Intel and Zen-based processors from AMD. [ 54 ] In February 2023, a team of researchers at North Carolina State University uncovered a new code execution vulnerability called Spectre-HD, also known as "Spectre SRV" or "Spectre v6".
Retbleed is a speculative execution attack on x86-64 and ARM processors, including some recent Intel and AMD chips. [1] [2] First made public in 2022, it is a variant of the Spectre vulnerability which exploits retpoline, which was a mitigation for speculative execution attacks.
Meltdown exploits a race condition, inherent in the design of many modern CPUs.This occurs between memory access and privilege checking during instruction processing. . Additionally, combined with a cache side-channel attack, this vulnerability allows a process to bypass the normal privilege checks that isolate the exploit process from accessing data belonging to the operating system and other ...
The vulnerabilities are in the implementation of speculative execution, which is where the processor tries to guess what instructions may be needed next. They exploit the possibility of reading data buffers found between different parts of the processor. [1] [2] [6] [7] Microarchitectural Store Buffer Data Sampling (MSBDS), CVE-2018-12126
Hertzbleed exploits execution time differences caused by dynamic frequency scaling, a CPU feature which changes the processor's frequency to maintain power consumption and temperature constraints. As the processor's frequency depends on the power consumption, which in turn depends on the data, a remote attacker can deduce the data being ...
