Description

Intel microprocessor generations 6 to 8 are affected by a new Spectre variant that is able to bypass their retpoline mitigation in the kernel to leak arbitrary data. An attacker with unprivileged user access can hijack return instructions to achieve arbitrary speculative code execution under certain microarchitecture-dependent conditions.
A flaw was found in hw. Non-transparent sharing of branch predictor targets between contexts in some Intel(R) processors may potentially allow an authorized user to enable information disclosure via local access.
