Page table walks conducted by the MMU during virtual to physical address translation leave a trace in the last level cache of modern Intel processors. By performing a side-channel attack on the MMU operations, it is possible to leak data and code pointers from JavaScript, breaking ASLR.

Page table walks conducted by the MMU during virtual to physical address translation leave a trace in the last level cache of modern AMD processors. By performing a side-channel attack on the MMU operations, it is possible to leak data and code pointers from JavaScript, breaking ASLR.

Arbitrary Memory Disclosure through CPU Side-Channel Attacks (Retbleed)

Intel microprocessor generations 6 to 8 are affected by a new Spectre variant that is able to bypass their retpoline mitigation in the kernel to leak arbitrary data. An attacker with unprivileged user access can hijack return instructions to achieve arbitrary speculative code execution under certain microarchitecture-dependent conditions.

kernel: hw: Insecure default variable initialization for the Intel BSSA DFT feature

Insecure default variable initialization for the Intel BSSA DFT feature may allow a privileged user to potentially enable an escalation of privilege via local access.
