Description
This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Side-channel attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-3615)
The vulnerability allows a local attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative execution and Intel® software guard extensions (Intel® SGX). A local attacker can conduct side-channel attack and gain access to potentially sensitive information residing in the L1 data cache from an enclave.
2) Side-channel attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-3620)
The vulnerability allows a local attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative execution and address translations . A local attacker can trigger terminal page fault, conduct side-channel attack and gain access to potentially sensitive information residing in the L1 data cache.
3) Rogue System Register Read (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-3640)
The vulnerability allows a local attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information on the target system.The weakness exists due to race conditions in CPU cache processing. A local attacker can conduct a side-channel attack to exploit a flaw in the speculative loading of system registers to read privileged system registers
Note: the vulnerability is referred to as "Spectre variant 3A".
4) Side-channel attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-3646)
The vulnerability allows an adjacent attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative execution and address translations. An adjacent attacker with guest OS privilege can trigger terminal page fault, conduct side-channel attack and gain access to potentially sensitive information residing in the L1 data cache.
