KB4056891: Windows 10 Version 1703 January 2018 Security Update (Meltdown)(Spectre)

The remote Windows host is missing security update 4056891 or 4057144. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - An vulnerability exists within microprocessors utilizing speculative execution and indirect branch prediction, which may allow an attacker with local user access to...

HPSBHF03573 rev. 15 - Side-Channel Analysis Method

Potential Security Impact Elevation of Privilege/Information Disclosure Source: HP, HP Product Security Response Team PSRT Reported by: Google Project Zero VULNERABILITY SUMMARY An industry-wide vulnerability, known as side channel analysis method, has been disclosed with modern CPUs using...

Spectre Vulnerability in CPU Processor Kernel

CPU hardware is a set of firmware that runs in the CPU Central Processing Unit to manage and control the CPU. The Spectre vulnerability exists in the CPU processor kernel, where an attacker can use a malicious application to gain access to private data that should be quarantined due to Intel's...

Reading privileged memory with a side-channel (Meltdown & Spectre)

We have discovered that CPU data cache timing can be abused to efficiently leak information out of mis-speculated execution, leading to at worst arbitrary virtual memory read vulnerabilities across local security boundaries in various contexts. Variants of this issue are known to affect many mode...

SUSE SLES11 Security Update : kvm (SUSE-SU-2018:0019-1) (Spectre)

This update for kvm fixes the following issues: Also a mitigation for a security flaw has been applied : - CVE-2017-5715: QEMU was updated to allow passing through new MSR and CPUID flags from the host VM to the CPU, to allow enabling/disabling branch prediction features in the Intel CPU...

Information leak via side effects of speculative execution

ISSUE DESCRIPTION Processors give the illusion of a sequence of instructions executed one-by-one. However, in order to most efficiently use cpu resources, modern superscalar processors actually begin executing many instructions in parallel. In cases where instructions depend on the result of...

CVE-2017-5715

Systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative execution and indirect branch prediction may allow unauthorized disclosure of information to an attacker with local user access via a side-channel analysis...

Meltdown and Spectre CPU Flaws Affect Intel, ARM, AMD Processors

Unlike the initial reports suggested about Intel chips being vulnerable to some severe ‘memory leaking’ flaws, full technical details about the vulnerabilities have now been emerged, which revealed that almost every modern processor since 1995 is vulnerable to the issues. Disclosed today by Googl...

Huge Flaws Affect Nearly Every Modern Device; Patch Could Hit CPU Performance

UPDATE: Researchers have finally disclosed complete technical details of two kernel side-channel attacks, Meltdown and Spectre—which affect not only Intel but also systems and devices running AMD, ARM processors—allowing attackers to steal sensitive data from the system memory.
