"An attacker can induce Safari to render an arbitrary webpage, subsequently recovering sensitive information present within it using

Debian Linux Security Advisory 5475-1 - Daniel Moghimi discovered Gather Data Sampling (GDS), a hardware vulnerability for Intel CPUs which allows unprivileged speculative access to data which was previously stored in vector registers. This mitigation requires updated CPU microcode provided in the intel-microcode package. Daniel Trujillo, Johannes Wikner and Kaveh Razavi discovered INCEPTION, also known as Speculative Return Stack Overflow (SRSO), a transient execution attack that leaks arbitrary data on all AMD Zen CPUs. An attacker can mis-train the CPU BTB to predict non-architectural CALL instructions in kernel space and use this to control the speculative target of a subsequent kernel RET, potentially leading to information disclosure via a speculative side-channel.

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a trio of side-channel attacks that could be exploited to leak sensitive data from modern CPUs. Called Collide+Power (CVE-2023-20583), Downfall (CVE-2022-40982), and Inception (CVE-2023-20569), the novel methods follow the disclosure of another newly discovered security vulnerability affecting AMD's Zen 2 architecture-based processors known as

gRPC contains a vulnerability that allows hpack table accounting errors could lead to unwanted disconnects between clients and servers in exceptional cases/ Three vectors were found that allow the following DOS attacks: - Unbounded memory buffering in the HPACK parser - Unbounded CPU consumption in the HPACK parser The unbounded CPU consumption is down to a copy that occurred per-input-block in the parser, and because that could be unbounded due to the memory copy bug we end up with an O(n^2) parsing loop, with n selected by the client. The unbounded memory buffering bugs: - The header size limit check was behind the string reading code, so we needed to first buffer up to a 4 gigabyte string before rejecting it as longer than 8 or 16kb. - HPACK varints have an encoding quirk whereby an infinite number of 0’s can be added at the start of an integer. gRPC’s hpack parser needed to read all of them before concluding a parse. - gRPC’s metadata overflow check was performed per frame, so ...
