Today's hardware vulnerability: register file data sampling
Tuesday March 12, 2024. 09:38 PM , from LWN.net
The mainline kernel has just received a set of commits addressing the
'register file data sampling' hardware vulnerability. RFDS may allow a malicious actor to infer data values previously used in floating point registers, vector registers, or integer registers. RFDS does not provide the ability to choose which data is inferred Only Atom cores are affected, but those cores can be found inside a number of processors. See this documentation commit for more information.
