hw: cpu: cryptographic leaks via frequency scaling attacks(AMD)

A potential vulnerability in some AMD processors using frequency scaling may allow an authenticated attacker to execute a timing attack to potentially enable information disclosure.

Failure to validate the AMD SMM communication buffer may allow an attacker to corrupt the SMRAM potentially leading to arbitrary code execution.

hw: cpu: AMD: Execution Unit Scheduler Contention Side-Channel vulnerability

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 information.

Insufficient validation of SPI flash addresses in the ASP (AMD Secure Processor) bootloader may allow an attacker to read data in memory mapped beyond SPI flash resulting in a potential loss of availability and integrity.

hw: cpu: LFENCE/JMP Mitigation Update for CVE-2017-5715

LFENCE/JMP (mitigation V2-2) may not sufficiently mitigate CVE-2017-5715 on some AMD CPUs.

hw: amd: Insufficient memory cleanup in ASP Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) may poison process contents

Insufficient memory cleanup in the AMD Secure Processor (ASP) Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) may allow an authenticated attacker with privileges to generate a valid signed TA and potentially poison the contents of the process memory with attacker controlled data resulting in a loss of confidentiality.

hw: amd: Insufficient verification in 'LoadModule' may lead to an out-of-bounds write

Insufficient verification of missing size check in 'LoadModule' may lead to an out-of-bounds write potentially allowing an attacker with privileges to gain code execution of the OS/kernel by loading a malicious TA.

Improper validation of the BIOS directory may allow for searches to read beyond the directory table copy in RAM, exposing out of bounds memory contents, resulting in a potential denial of service.

A malicious or compromised UApp or ABL may be used by an attacker to issue a malformed system call to the Stage 2 Bootloader potentially leading to corrupt memory and code execution.

A malformed SMI (System Management Interface) command may allow an attacker to establish a corrupted SMI Trigger Info data structure, potentially leading to out-of-bounds memory reads and writes when triggering an SMI resulting in a potential loss of resources.

An attacker with root account privileges can load any legitimately signed firmware image into the Audio Co-Processor (ACP,) irrespective of the respective signing key being declared as usable for authenticating an ACP firmware image, potentially resulting in a denial of service.

A malicious or compromised UApp or ABL may be used by an attacker to send a malformed system call to the bootloader, resulting in out-of-bounds memory accesses.

Insufficient check of the process type in Trusted OS (TOS) may allow an attacker with privileges to enable a lesser privileged process to unmap memory owned by a higher privileged process resulting in a denial of service.

An attacker, who gained elevated privileges via some other vulnerability, may be able to read data from Boot ROM resulting in a loss of system integrity.

A malicious or compromised UApp or ABL could potentially change the value that the ASP uses for its reserved DRAM, to one outside of the fenced area, potentially leading to data exposure.

A malicious or compromised UApp or ABL may be used by an attacker to issue a malformed system call which results in mapping sensitive System Management Network (SMN) registers leading to a loss of integrity and availability.

A malicious or compromised User Application (UApp) or AGESA Boot Loader (ABL) could be used by an attacker to exfiltrate arbitrary memory from the ASP stage 2 bootloader potentially leading to information disclosure.

Insufficient DRAM address validation in System Management Unit (SMU) may result in a DMA (Direct Memory Access) read/write from/to invalid DRAM address that could result in denial of service.

hw: cpu: AMD CPUs may transiently execute beyond unconditional direct branch

Some AMD CPUs may transiently execute beyond unconditional direct branches, which may potentially result in data leakage.

A bug in AMD CPU’s core logic may allow for an attacker, using specific code from an unprivileged VM, to trigger a CPU core hang resulting in a potential denial of service. AMD believes the specific code includes a specific x86 instruction sequence that would not be generated by compilers.
