Cache-load gadgets exploitable with L1TF

ISSUE DESCRIPTION Previously reported vulnerabilities CVE-2017-5753 / XSA-254 Spectre V1 and CVE-2018-3646 / XSA-273 L1TF can, when combined, be leveraged to more easily gather leaked information. A Spectre v1 gadget is a speculation sequence which starts with a conditional branch, contains a...

Information Disclosure

Systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative execution and address translations are vulnerable to information disclosure. An L1TF issue allows an unprivileged attacker to read privileged memory of the kernel or other processes by conducting targeted cache side-channel attacks...
