Vulnerabilities

A compromised or malicious ABL or UApp could send a SHA256 system call to the bootloader, which may result in exposure of ASP memory to userspace, potentially leading to information disclosure.

A TOCTOU in ASP bootloader may allow an attacker to tamper with the SPI ROM following data read to memory potentially resulting in S3 data corruption and information disclosure.

Insufficient bounds checking in ASP may allow an attacker to issue a system call from a compromised ABL which may cause arbitrary memory values to be initialized to zero, potentially leading to a loss of integrity.

Insufficient input validation in the SMU may allow an attacker to improperly lock resources, potentially resulting in a denial of service.

Insufficient bound checks in the SMU may allow an attacker to update the SRAM from/to address space to an invalid value potentially resulting in a denial of service.

Insufficient bound checks in the SMU may allow an attacker to update the from/to address space to an invalid value potentially resulting in a denial of service.

Insufficient input validation in the SMU may allow a physical attacker to exfiltrate SMU memory contents over the I2C bus potentially leading to a loss of confidentiality.

Improper syscall input validation in the ASP Bootloader may allow a privileged attacker to read memory out-of-bounds, potentially leading to a denial-of-service.

Insufficient syscall input validation in the ASP Bootloader may allow a privileged attacker to read memory outside the bounds of a mapped register potentially leading to a denial of service.

TOCTOU in the ASP may allow a physical attacker to write beyond the buffer bounds, potentially leading to a loss of integrity or denial of service.

Insufficient checks in SEV may lead to a malicious hypervisor disclosing the launch secret potentially resulting in compromise of VM confidentiality.

Insufficient bounds checking in ASP (AMD Secure Processor) firmware while handling BIOS mailbox commands, may allow an attacker to write partially-controlled data out-of-bounds to SMM or SEV-ES regions which may lead to…

Insufficient input validation in SYS_KEY_DERIVE system call in a compromised user application or ABL may allow an attacker to corrupt ASP (AMD Secure Processor) OS memory which may lead to potential arbitrary code execut…

Failure to validate the communication buffer and communication service in the BIOS may allow an attacker to tamper with the buffer resulting in potential SMM (System Management Mode) arbitrary code execution.

IBPB may not prevent return branch predictions from being specified by pre-IBPB branch targets leading to a potential information disclosure.

Execution unit scheduler contention may lead to a side channel vulnerability found on AMD CPU microarchitectures codenamed “Zen 1”, “Zen 2” and “Zen 3” that use simultaneous multithreading (SMT).

Aliases in the branch predictor may cause some AMD processors to predict the wrong branch type potentially leading to information disclosure.

Mis-trained branch predictions for return instructions may allow arbitrary speculative code execution under certain microarchitecture-dependent conditions.

A potential vulnerability in some AMD processors using frequency scaling may allow an authenticated attacker to execute a timing attack to potentially enable information disclosure.

An attacker with access to a malicious hypervisor may be able to infer data values used in a SEV guest on AMD CPUs by monitoring ciphertext values over time.

Failure to validate the integer operand in ASP (AMD Secure Processor) bootloader may allow an attacker to introduce an integer overflow in the L2 directory table in SPI flash resulting in a potential denial of service.

Improper validation of destination address in SVC_LOAD_FW_IMAGE_BY_INSTANCE and SVC_LOAD_BINARY_BY_ATTRIB in a malicious UApp or ABL may allow an attacker to overwrite arbitrary bootloader memory with SPI ROM contents re…

Insufficient validation of elliptic curve points in SEV-legacy firmware may compromise SEV-legacy guest migration potentially resulting in loss of guest's integrity or confidentiality.

AMD EPYC™ Processors contain an information disclosure vulnerability in the Secure Encrypted Virtualization with Encrypted State (SEV-ES) and Secure Encrypted Virtualization with Secure Nested Paging (SEV-SNP).

Insufficient DRAM address validation in System Management Unit (SMU) may result in a DMA read from invalid DRAM address to SRAM resulting in SMU not servicing further requests.
