AMD Processor Vulnerabilities, June 13, 2024
Description: Researchers disclosed multiple potential vulnerabilities that may impact some AMD processors.
AMD has assessed the researchers’ findings and is publishing CVEs and mitigation recommendations for any issues that were found to impact AMD platforms. AMD believes some of the findings were made on PCs running outdated firmware or software. As always, AMD recommends following security best practices, including keeping operating systems up-to-date and running the latest versions of firmware and software.nds following security best practices, including keeping operating systems up-to-date and running the latest versions of firmware and software.

Cross-Process Information Leak, April 30, 2024
Description: Under specific microarchitectural circumstances, a register in “Zen 2” CPUs may not be written to 0 correctly. This may cause data from another process and/or thread to be stored in the YMM register, which may allow an attacker to potentially access sensitive information.

Return Address Security Bulletins, April 30, 2024
Description: AMD has received an external report titled ‘INCEPTION’, describing a new speculative side channel attack. The attack can result in speculative execution at an attacker-controlled address, potentially leading to information disclosure. This attack is similar to previous branch prediction-based attacks like Spectrev2 and Branch Type Confusion (BTC)/RetBleed. As with similar attacks, speculation is constrained within the current address space and to exploit, an attacker must have knowledge of the address space and control of sufficient registers at the time of RET (return from procedure) speculation. Hence, AMD believes this vulnerability is only potentially exploitable locally, such as via downloaded malware, and recommends customers employ security best practices, including running up-to-date software and malware detection tools.
AMD is not aware of any exploit of ‘Inception’ outside the research environment at this time.

AMD Response to “ZENHAMMER: Rowhammer Attacks on AMD Zen-Based Platforms”, April 09, 2024
Description: On February 26, 2024, AMD received new research related to an industry-wide DRAM issue documented in “ZENHAMMER: Rowhammering Attacks on AMD Zen-based Platforms” from researchers at ETH Zurich. The research demonstrates performing Rowhammer attacks on DDR4 and DDR5 memory using AMD “Zen” platforms. Given the history around Rowhammer, the researchers do not consider these rowhammering attacks to be a new issue.
