New $50 Battering RAM Attack Breaks Intel and AMD Cloud Security Protections

A group of academics from KU Leuven and the University of Birmingham has demonstrated a new vulnerability called Battering RAM to bypass the latest defenses on Intel and AMD cloud processors. "We built a simple, $50 interposer that sits quietly in the memory path, behaving transparently during...

SEV-SNP Physical Memory Aliasing

Summary Researchers have reported a method for privileged attackers with physical access to a motherboard to potentially compromise confidentiality and integrity of AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization – Secure Nesting Paging SEV-SNP guests. AMD does not plan to release any mitigations in response...

CVE-2024-36331

Improper initialization of CPU cache memory could allow a privileged attacker with hypervisor access to overwrite SEV-SNP guest memory resulting in loss of data integrity...
