hw: cpu: speculative execution branch target injection

An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern microprocessor designs have implemented speculative execution of instructions a commonly used performance optimization. There are three primary variants of the issue which differ in the way the speculative execution can be exploited. Variant...

hw: cpu: speculative store bypass

An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern microprocessor designs have implemented speculative execution of Load & Store instructions a commonly used performance optimization. It relies on the presence of a precisely-defined instruction sequence in the privileged code as well as the...

SUSE-SU-2018:1816-1 Security update for the Linux Kernel

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP3 RT kernel was updated to 4.4.138 to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs were fixed: - CVE-2018-12233: A memory corruption bug in JFS could have been triggered by calling setxattr twice with two different extended attribute names on t...

Secure Speculative Execution

We're starting to see research into designing speculative execution systems that avoid Spectre- and Meltdown-like security problems. Here's one. I don't know if this particular design secure. My guess is that we're going to see several iterations of design and attack before we settle on something...

FreeBSD : FreeBSD -- Lazy FPU State Restore Information Disclosure (4e07d94f-75a5-11e8-85d1-a4badb2f4699)

A subset of Intel processors can allow a local thread to infer data from another thread through a speculative execution side channel when Lazy FPU state restore is used. Impact : Any local thread can potentially read FPU state information from other threads running on the host. This could include...
