x86: Cross-Thread Return Address Predictions

ISSUE DESCRIPTION It has been discovered that on some AMD CPUs, the RAS Return Address Stack, also called RAP - Return Address Predictor - in some AMD documentation, and RSB - Return Stack Buffer - in Intel terminology is dynamically partitioned between non-idle threads. This allows an attacker t...

CVE-2022-27672: Undefined Security Weakness

When SMT is enabled, certain AMD processors may speculatively execute instructions using a target from the sibling thread after an SMT mode switch potentially resulting in information disclosure...

CVE-2023-0045

The current implementation of the prctl syscall does not issue an IBPB immediately during the syscall. The ibprctlset function updates the Thread Information Flags TIFs for the task and updates the SPECCTRL MSR on the function speculationctrlupdate, but the IBPB is only issued on the next...

CVE-2022-2196

A regression exists in the Linux Kernel within KVM: nVMX that allowed for speculative execution attacks. L2 can carry out Spectre v2 attacks on L1 due to L1 thinking it doesn't need retpolines or IBPB after running L2 due to KVM L0 advertising eIBRS support to L1. An attacker at L2 with code...
