Intel, ARM, IBM, AMD Processors Vulnerable to New Side-Channel Attacks

It turns out that the root cause behind several previously disclosed speculative execution attacks against modern processors, such as Meltdown and Foreshadow, was misattributed to 'prefetching effect,' resulting in hardware vendors releasing incomplete mitigations and countermeasures. Sharing its...

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2020:1372 advisory. The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. Security Fixes: kernel: powerpc: local user can read...

kernel: Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier is force-disabled when STIBP is unavailable or enhanced IBRS is available.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s implementation of the Enhanced IBPB Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier. The IBPB mitigation will be disabled when STIBP is not available or when the Enhanced Indirect Branch Restricted Speculation IBRS is available. This flaw allows a local attacker to perfo...

kernel: Indirect branch speculation can be enabled after it was force-disabled by the PR_SPEC_FORCE_DISABLE prctl command.

A flaw was found in the prctl function, where it can be used to enable indirect branch speculation after it has been disabled. This call incorrectly reports it as being 'force disabled' when it is not and opens the system to Spectre v2 attacks. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to...
