--[ 0 - Introduction |
For a long time, data stored in microarchitectural buffer-like structures' |
behaviors were believed to be strictly internal to the CPU and protected by |
architectural mechanisms built into modern CPUs, many of them lacking |
detailed public documentation. Since 2018 following Microarchitectural Data |
Sampling (MDS) attacks [1] the security community discovered that the |
contents of such buffers might be inferred or even, under the right |
circumstances, directly leaked using e.g., faulting load instruction or in |
the shadow of transiently executed flows. These techniques might allow |
attackers to bypass such architectural mechanisms and other hardware |
mitigations, e.g. buffer clearing or overwriting. |
Lots of such microarchitectural buffers have been documented publicly by |
now, as well as mitigations have been deployed on newer hardware with this |
new threat model in place by most CPU vendors. Unfortunately, we show that |
not all CPU vendors have adopted this new threat vector into their threat |
model, and some newer architectures are being released having such |
dangerous behaviors documented. |
In this article, we show that it is possible to observe stale data from |
previously evicted cache entries from an undocumented microarchitectural |
buffer, which we are calling eviction buffer. More specifically, AMD Zen 4 |
platforms might enable a malicious process to observe data that is |
previously evicted from a victim process, even if the same victim process |
has been previously terminated. |
Moreover, unlike most of prior data inference attacks from |
microarchitectural buffers, this behavior has been documented in the |
official “AMD Zen4 Microarchitecture Documentation” and AMD does not |
consider a security concern. |
