A vulnerability in the management interface of MiVoice Business through 9.3 PR1 and MiVoice Business Express through 8.0 SP3 PR3 could allow an unauthenticated attacker (that has network access to the management interface) to conduct a buffer overflow attack due to insufficient validation of URL parameters. A successful exploit could allow arbitrary code execution.

An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern microprocessor designs have implemented speculative execution of Load & Store instructions (a commonly used performance optimization).

It relies on the presence of a precisely-defined instruction sequence in the privileged code as well as the fact that memory read from address to which a recent memory write has occurred may see an older value and subsequently cause an update into the microprocessor's data cache even for speculatively executed instructions that never actually commit (retire).

As a result, an unprivileged attacker could use this flaw to read privileged memory by conducting targeted cache side-channel attacks.
