Improper Access Control in the AMD SPI protection feature may allow a user with Ring0 (kernel mode) privileged access to bypass protections potentially resulting in loss of integrity and availability.

Insufficient control flow management in AmdCpmGpioInitSmm may allow a privileged attacker to tamper with the SMM handler potentially leading to escalation of privileges.

Insufficient control flow management in AmdCpmOemSmm may allow a privileged attacker to tamper with the SMM handler potentially leading to an escalation of privileges.

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.

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). By measuring the contention level on scheduler queues an attacker may potentially leak sensitive information.

A malformed SMI (System Management Interface) command may allow an attacker to establish a corrupted SMI Trigger Info data structure, potentially leading to out-of-bounds memory reads and writes when triggering an SMI resulting in a potential loss of resources.

An attacker with root account privileges can load any legitimately signed firmware image into the Audio Co-Processor (ACP,) irrespective of the respective signing key being declared as usable for authenticating an ACP firmware image, potentially resulting in a denial of service.

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.

A malicious or compromised UApp or ABL may be used by an attacker to issue a malformed system call to the Stage 2 Bootloader potentially leading to corrupt memory and code execution.

Insufficient check of the process type in Trusted OS (TOS) may allow an attacker with privileges to enable a lesser privileged process to unmap memory owned by a higher privileged process resulting in a denial of service.

A malicious or compromised UApp or ABL could potentially change the value that the ASP uses for its reserved DRAM, to one outside of the fenced area, potentially leading to data exposure.

Failure to verify the protocol in SMM may allow an attacker to control the protocol and modify SPI flash resulting in a potential arbitrary code execution.

A malicious or compromised UApp or ABL may be used by an attacker to send a malformed system call to the bootloader, resulting in out-of-bounds memory accesses.

An attacker, who gained elevated privileges via some other vulnerability, may be able to read data from Boot ROM resulting in a loss of system integrity.

A malicious or compromised UApp or ABL may be used by an attacker to issue a malformed system call which results in mapping sensitive System Management Network (SMN) registers leading to a loss of integrity and availability.

A malicious or compromised User Application (UApp) or AGESA Boot Loader (ABL) could be used by an attacker to exfiltrate arbitrary memory from the ASP stage 2 bootloader potentially leading to information disclosure.

Insufficient DRAM address validation in System Management Unit (SMU) may result in a DMA (Direct Memory Access) read/write from/to invalid DRAM address that could result in denial of service.

A bug in AMD CPU’s core logic may allow for an attacker, using specific code from an unprivileged VM, to trigger a CPU core hang resulting in a potential denial of service. AMD believes the specific code includes a specific x86 instruction sequence that would not be generated by compilers.
