hw: AMD: SMM Memory Corruption Vulnerability

Insufficient input validation in CpmDisplayFeatureSmm may allow an attacker to corrupt SMM memory by overwriting an arbitrary bit in an attacker-controlled pointer potentially leading to arbitrary code execution in SMM.

Insufficient checking of memory buffer in AMD Secure Processor (ASP) Secure OS may allow an attacker with a malicious trusted application to read/write to the ASP Secure OS kernel virtual address space, potentially resulting in privilege escalation.

kernel: AMD: Cross-Thread Return Address Predictions

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.

hw: amd: Insufficient verification of header signature may lead to unwanted code execution problem

Insufficient verification of multiple header signatures while loading a Trusted Application (TA) may allow an attacker with privileges to gain code execution in that TA or the OS/kernel.

hw: amd: integer overflow in the L2 directory table in SPI flash resulting in a potential denial of service

Failure to validate the integer operand in ASP (AMD Secure Processor) bootloader may allow an attacker to introduce an integer overflow in the L2 directory table in SPI flash resulting in a potential denial of service.

hw: amd: arbitrary code execution in bios due to a fault in communication buffer

Failure to validate the communication buffer and communication service in the BIOS may allow an attacker to tamper with the buffer resulting in potential SMM (System Management Mode) arbitrary code execution.

hw: amd: SPI bypass

Improper Access Control in the AMD SPI protection feature may allow a user with Ring0 (kernel mode) privileged access to bypass protections potentially resulting in loss of integrity and availability.

Insufficient control flow management in AmdCpmGpioInitSmm may allow a privileged attacker to tamper with the SMM handler potentially leading to escalation of privileges.

Insufficient control flow management in AmdCpmOemSmm may allow a privileged attacker to tamper with the SMM handler potentially leading to an escalation of privileges.

hw: cpu: AMD: IBPB and Return Address Predictor Interactions

IBPB may not prevent return branch predictions from being specified by pre-IBPB branch targets leading to a potential information disclosure.

A compromised or malicious ABL or UApp could send a SHA256 system call to the bootloader, which may result in exposure of ASP memory to userspace, potentially leading to information disclosure.

Certain size values in firmware binary headers could trigger out of bounds reads during signature validation, leading to denial of service or potentially limited leakage of information about out-of-bounds memory contents.

A TOCTOU in ASP bootloader may allow an attacker to tamper with the SPI ROM following data read to memory potentially resulting in S3 data corruption and information disclosure.

Insufficient bounds checking in ASP may allow an attacker to issue a system call from a compromised ABL which may cause arbitrary memory values to be initialized to zero, potentially leading to a loss of integrity.

Improper access control in System Management Mode (SMM) may allow an attacker to write to SPI ROM potentially leading to arbitrary code execution.

A stack buffer overflow vulnerability discovered in AsfSecureBootDxe in Insyde InsydeH2O with kernel 5.0 through 5.5 allows attackers to run arbitrary code execution during the DXE phase.

Improper input validation in the SMM Supervisor may allow an attacker with a compromised SMI handler to gain Ring0 access potentially leading to arbitrary code execution.

fTPM Voltage Fault Injection

An attacker with specialized hardware and physical access to an impacted device may be able to perform a voltage fault injection attack resulting in compromise of the ASP secure boot potentially leading to arbitrary code execution. 

A race condition in System Management Mode (SMM) code may allow an attacker using a compromised user space to leverage CVE-2018-8897 potentially resulting in privilege escalation.

amd: Return Address Predictor vulnerability leading to information disclosure

A side channel vulnerability on some of the AMD CPUs may allow an attacker to influence the return address prediction. This may result in speculative execution at an attacker-controlled address, potentially leading to information disclosure.
