Remote Memory-Deduplication Attacks

Martin Schwarzl, Erik Kraft, Moritz Lipp +1

Memory utilization can be reduced by merging identical memory blocks into copy-on-write mappings. Previous work showed that this so-called memory deduplication can be exploited in…

Fallout: Reading Kernel Writes From User Space

Marina Minkin, Daniel Moghimi, Moritz Lipp +7

Recently, out-of-order execution, an important performance optimization in modern high-end processors, has been revealed to pose a significant security threat, allowing information…

ConTExT: Leakage-Free Transient Execution

Michael Schwarz, Robert Schilling, Florian Kargl +3

Out-of-order execution and speculative execution are among the biggest contributors to performance and efficiency of modern processors. However, they are inconsiderate, leaking sec…

ZombieLoad: Cross-Privilege-Boundary Data Sampling

Michael Schwarz, Moritz Lipp, Daniel Moghimi +4

In early 2018, Meltdown first showed how to read arbitrary kernel memory from user space by exploiting side-effects from transient instructions. While this attack has been mitigate…

A Systematic Evaluation of Transient Execution Attacks and Defenses

Claudio Canella, Jo Van Bulck, Michael Schwarz +6

Research on transient execution attacks including Spectre and Meltdown showed that exception or branch misprediction events might leave secret-dependent traces in the CPU's microar…

NetSpectre: Read Arbitrary Memory over Network

Michael Schwarz, Martin Schwarzl, Moritz Lipp +1

In this paper, we present NetSpectre, a generic remote Spectre variant 1 attack. For this purpose, we demonstrate the first access-driven remote Evict+Reload cache attack over netw…
