UBUNTU-CVE-2026-72237

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: perf/x86/amd/brs: Fix kernel address leakage A user-only branch stack can contain branches that originate from the kernel. As a result, kernel addresses are exposed to user space even when PERFSAMPLEBRANCHUSER is requested. On AM...

Return Address Stack Side Channel

Bulletin ID: AMD-SB-7031 Potential Impact: N/A Severity: N/A Summary Researchers from the Google® Security Team have reported to AMD a new method of exploiting the previously reported CVE-2023-20569 “Inception” vulnerability on “Zen 3” and “Zen 4” based architectures. AMD believes that the...

New ZenHammer Attack Bypasses Rowhammer Defenses on AMD CPUs

Cybersecurity researchers from ETH Zurich have developed a new variant of the RowHammer DRAM dynamic random-access memory attack that, for the first time, successfully works against AMD Zen 2 and Zen 3 systems despite mitigations such as Target Row Refresh TRR. "This result proves that AMD system...

Return Address Security Bulletin

Bulletin ID: AMD-SB-7005 Potential Impact: Data Confidentiality Severity: Medium Summary AMD has received an external report titled ‘INCEPTION’, describing a new speculative side channel attack. The attack can result in speculative execution at an attacker-controlled address, potentially leading ...

Information disclosure

Execution unit scheduler contention may lead to a side channel vulnerability found on AMD CPU microarchitectures codenamed “Zen 1”, “Zen 2” and “Zen 3” that use simultaneous multithreading SMT. By measuring the contention level on scheduler queues an attacker may potentially leak sensitive...

CVE-2021-46778

CVE-2021-46778 describes an information-disclosure side-channel vulnerability in AMD CPUs with SMT (Zen 1–Zen 4). The root cause is execution unit scheduler contention on SMT-enabled cores, allowing an attacker to infer data by measuring scheduler-queue contention. Public documents identify affec...
