Description
The vulnerability allows a local attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists in the design of most modern CPUs using speculative execution and branch prediction due to improper speculative execution of instructions. A local attacker can bypass bounds checks, trigger buffer overflow, perform arbitrary speculative execution and a side-channel attack to access sensitive memory information.
