Speculative Store Bypass (SSB) (CVE-2018-3639) is the name given to a hardware security vulnerability and its exploitation that takes advantage of speculative execution in a similar way to the Meltdown and Spectre security vulnerabilities. [1] It affects the ARM, AMD and Intel families of processors.
Windows 10 version 1903 and 1909, and Server Core installations of Windows Server, versions 1903 and 1909 [5] SMBGhost (or SMBleedingGhost or CoronaBlue ) is a type of security vulnerability , with wormlike features, that affects Windows 10 computers and was first reported publicly on 10 March 2020.
Meltdown exploits a race condition, inherent in the design of many modern CPUs.This occurs between memory access and privilege checking during instruction processing. . Additionally, combined with a cache side-channel attack, this vulnerability allows a process to bypass the normal privilege checks that isolate the exploit process from accessing data belonging to the operating system and other ...
In July 2023 a critical vulnerability in the Zen 2 AMD microarchitecture called Zenbleed was made public. [59] AMD released a microcode update to fix it. [60] In August 2023 a vulnerability in AMD's Zen 1, Zen 2, Zen 3, and Zen 4 microarchitectures called Inception [61] [62] was revealed and assigned CVE-2023-20569. According to AMD it is not ...
A computer program commonly changes its control flow to make decisions and use different parts of the code. Such transfers may be direct, in that the target address is written in the code itself, or indirect, in that the target address itself is a variable in memory or a CPU register.
Two common varieties are DNS cache poisoning [2] and ARP cache poisoning. Web cache poisoning involves the poisoning of web caches [3] (which has led to security issues in programming languages, including all Python versions at the time in 2021, and expedited security updates [4]). Attacks on other, more specific, caches also exist. [5] [6] [7]
