Improper
Access Control in the AMD SPI protection feature may allow a user with Ring0
(kernel mode) privileged access to bypass protections potentially resulting in
loss of integrity and availability.
Improper input validation in the SMM Supervisor may allow an attacker with a compromised SMI handler to gain Ring0 access potentially leading to arbitrary code execution.
A race condition in System Management Mode (SMM) code may allow an attacker using a compromised user space to leverage CVE-2018-8897 potentially resulting in privilege escalation.
Insufficient validation of SPI flash addresses in the ASP (AMD Secure Processor) bootloader may allow an attacker to read data in memory mapped beyond SPI flash resulting in a potential loss of availability and integrity.
A side channel vulnerability on some of the AMD CPUs may allow an attacker to influence the return address prediction. This may result in speculative execution at an attacker-controlled address, potentially leading to information disclosure.
Insufficient input validation in
CpmDisplayFeatureSmm may allow an attacker to corrupt SMM memory by overwriting
an arbitrary bit in an attacker-controlled pointer potentially leading to
arbitrary code execution in SMM.
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.
