New AMD Side Channel Vulnerabilities found - AMD Reacts and Downplays
Summary
“We are aware of a new white paper that claims potential security exploits in AMD CPUs, whereby a malicious actor could manipulate a cache-related feature to potentially transmit user data in an unintended way,” AMD said. “The researchers then pair this data path with known and mitigated software or speculative execution side-channel vulnerabilities. The Graz University of Technology performed a lot of Vulnerability tests ion the past, but the reality is also that they are partially funded by intel, it seems. The paper also mentions this, and really, just read it: "Additional funding was provided by generous gifts from Intel. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this paper are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the funding parties.
