Shared microarchitectural predictor state may allow code to influence
transient execution across a hardware boundary, potentially exposing
data that is accessible beyond the boundary over a covert channel.
Exposure of sensitive information caused by shared microarchitectural predictor state that influences transient execution for some Intel(R) Processors within VMX non-root (guest) operation may allow an information disclosure. Unprivileged software adversary with an authenticated user combined with a high complexity attack may enable data exposure. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (high), integrity (none) and availability (none) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (high), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.
NVIDIA Jetson Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel where an attacker may cause an exposure of sensitive information due to a shared microarchitectural predictor state that influences transient execution. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may lead to information disclosure.
Exposure of sensitive information caused by shared microarchitectural predictor state that influences transient execution in the indirect branch predictors for some Intel(R) Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access.
