Improper parameters handling in the AMD Secure Processor (ASP) kernel may allow a privileged attacker to elevate their privileges potentially leading to loss of integrity.

Insufficient verification of missing size check in 'LoadModule' may lead to an out-of-bounds write potentially allowing an attacker with privileges to gain code execution of the OS/kernel by loading a malicious TA.

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.

Aliases in the branch predictor may cause some AMD processors to predict the wrong branch type potentially leading to information disclosure.

Mis-trained branch predictions for return instructions may allow arbitrary speculative code execution under certain microarchitecture-dependent conditions.

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.

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.

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 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.
