Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a local attacker to disclose sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to improper isolation of partial divider results in x86 CPU handling when executing division operations on Zen1 processors. A local attacker can run a thread that observes residual partial results from previous operations to disclose sensitive information.
Exploitation requires another thread to access leaked partial results left by a previous operation under certain circumstances.
How to mitigate CVE-2026-31628
Install security update from vendor's repository.
