Insufficient control flow management in AmdCpmOemSmm may allow a privileged attacker to tamper with the SMM handler potentially leading to an escalation of privileges.
Insufficient control flow management in AmdCpmGpioInitSmm may allow a privileged attacker to tamper with the SMM handler potentially leading to escalation of privileges.
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.
Execution unit scheduler contention may lead to a side channel vulnerability found on AMD CPU microarchitectures codenamed “Zen 1”, “Zen 2” and “Zen 3” that use simultaneous multithreading (SMT). By measuring the contention level on scheduler queues an attacker may potentially leak sensitive information.
Mis-trained branch predictions for return instructions may allow arbitrary speculative code execution under certain microarchitecture-dependent conditions.
A potential vulnerability in some AMD processors using frequency scaling may allow an authenticated attacker to execute a timing attack to potentially enable information disclosure.
A bug in AMD CPU’s core logic may allow for an attacker, using specific code from an unprivileged VM, to trigger a CPU core hang resulting in a potential denial of service. AMD believes the specific code includes a specific x86 instruction sequence that would not be generated by compilers.
