Frequently Asked Questions
Who would need to be able to exploit this issue?
An attacker needs local access and low-level privileges. The attack has high complexity and does not require user interaction.
What is the potential impact if exploitation succeeds?
An attacker may bypass deployed Spectre v2 mitigations, including Fine(IBT), and leak arbitrary Linux kernel memory. The reported impact is on confidentiality; integrity and availability are not listed as affected.
Which systems are in scope?
The affected software list includes Ubuntu linux, linux-fips, linux-aws, linux-aws-fips, linux-azure, linux-azure-fips, linux-gcp, and linux-gcp-fips packages on Intel systems.
