hw: cpu: speculative execution bounds-check bypass

Systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative execution and branch prediction may allow unauthorized disclosure of information to an attacker with local user access via a side-channel analysis.

hw: cpu: speculative execution permission faults handling

Systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative execution and indirect branch prediction may allow unauthorized disclosure of information to an attacker with local user access via a side-channel analysis of the data cache.

hw: cpu: speculative execution branch target injection

Systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative execution and indirect branch prediction may allow unauthorized disclosure of information to an attacker with local user access via a side-channel analysis.

Observable behavioral discrepancy in some Intel(R) Processors may allow an authorized user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access.

hw: cpu: speculative execution branch predictor side-channel attack

Systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative execution may allow unauthorized disclosure of information to an attacker with local user access via a side-channel attack on the directional branch predictor, as demonstrated by a pattern history table (PHT), aka BranchScope.

Kernel: speculative bounds check bypass store

Systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative execution and branch prediction may allow unauthorized disclosure of information to an attacker with local user access via a speculative buffer overflow and side-channel analysis.

Configuration of SPI Flash in platforms based on multiple Intel platforms allow a local attacker to alter the behavior of the SPI flash potentially leading to a Denial of Service.
