Linux Patched For Transient Scheduler Attacks "TSA" Impacting AMD CPUs
Made public minutes ago is Transient Scheduler Attacks (TSA) as a new class of class of speculative side channel attacks affecting AMD processors.
Add the usual controls of the mitigation and integrate it into the existing speculation bugs infrastructure in the kernel" TSA is a hardware security vulnerability on AMD CPUs which can lead to forwarding of invalid info to subsequent instructions and thus can affect their timing and thereby cause a leakage." I'll work on some benchmarks of the Transient Scheduler Attacks mitigation impact on AMD CPUs soon.About The AuthorMichael Larabel is the principal author of Phoronix.com and founded the site in 2004 with a focus on enriching the Linux hardware experience.
