CVE-2022-23960

Certain Arm Cortex and Neoverse processors through 2022-03-08 do not properly restrict cache speculation, aka Spectre-BHB. An attacker can leverage the shared branch history in the Branch History Buffer BHB to influence mispredicted branches. Then, cache allocation can allow the attacker to obtai...

CVE-2022-23960

CVE-2022-23960 affects Arm Cortex and Neoverse processors. It is a Spectre-BHB side-channel issue where shared branch history in the Branch History Buffer can influence mispredicted branches, enabling potential information disclosure through cache allocation. Documents note mitigations include de...

CVE-2022-23960: Undefined Security Weakness

Certain Arm Cortex and Neoverse processors through 2022-03-08 do not properly restrict cache speculation, aka Spectre-BHB. An attacker can leverage the shared branch history in the Branch History Buffer BHB to influence mispredicted branches. Then, cache allocation can allow the attacker to obtai...

CVE-2022-25368

Spectre BHB is a variant of Spectre-v2 in which malicious code uses the shared branch history stored in the CPU BHB to influence mispredicted branches in the victim's hardware context. Speculation caused by these mispredicted branches can then potentially be used to cause cache allocation, which...

CVE-2022-23960

A new cache speculation vulnerability, known as Branch History Injection BHI or Spectre-BHB, was found in hw. Spectre-BHB is similar to Spectre v2, except that malicious code uses the shared branch history stored in the CPU Branch History Buffer, or BHB to influence mispredicted branches within t...

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS : Linux kernel vulnerabilities (USN-5317-1)

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5317-1 advisory. Nick Gregory discovered that the Linux kernel incorrectly handled network offload functionality. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of...
