kernel: powerpc: incomplete Spectre-RSB mitigation leads to information exposure

A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel implemented a software flush of the Count Cache indirect branch cache and Link Return Address Stack on the PowerPC platform. The flushing of these structures helps to prevent SpectreRSB like attacks which may leak information from one user process to...

hw: L1D Cache Eviction Sampling

A microarchitectural timing flaw was found on some Intel processors. A corner case exists where data in-flight during the eviction process can end up in the “fill buffers” and not properly cleared by the MDS mitigations. The fill buffer contents which were expected to be blank can be inferred usi...

Special Register Buffer speculative side channel

ISSUE DESCRIPTION This issue is related to the MDS and TAA vulnerabilities. Please see https://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/advisory-297.html MDS and https://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/advisory-305.html TAA for details. Certain processor operations microarchitecturally need to read data from outside the physical...
