New Side-Channel Attacks on CPUs
New Side-Channel Attacks on CPUs
1. Modern Intel CPUs like Raptor Lake are vulnerable to new side-channel attacks.
2. The Indirector attack exploits weaknesses in Indirect Branch Predictor and Branch Target Buffer.
3. Researchers use a tool called iBranch Locator to perform precise Branch Target Injection.
4. Intel advises using Indirect Branch Predictor Barrier and enhancing Branch Prediction Unit security.
5. Arm CPUs are also susceptible to the TikTag speculative execution attack on Memory Tagging Extension.
