A flaw was found in hw. This issue can cause AMD CPUs to transiently execute beyond unconditional direct branches.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A flaw was found in hw. The speculative execution window of AMD LFENCE/JMP mitigation (MITIGATION V2-2) may be large enough to be exploited on AMD CPUs.

Insufficient DRAM address validation in System Management Unit (SMU) may result in a DMA read from invalid DRAM address to SRAM resulting in SMU not servicing further requests.

Insufficient bounds checking in System Management Unit (SMU) may cause invalid memory accesses/updates that could result in SMU hang and subsequent failure to service any further requests from other components.

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.

IBPB may not prevent return branch predictions from being specified by pre-IBPB branch targets leading to a potential information disclosure.
