CVE-2022-29901

Intel microprocessor generations 6 to 8 are affected by a new Spectre variant that is able to bypass their retpoline mitigation in the kernel to leak arbitrary data. An attacker with unprivileged user access can hijack return instructions to achieve arbitrary speculative code execution under certain microarchitecture-dependent conditions.

Las generaciones de microprocesadores Intel 6 a 8 están afectadas por una nueva variante de Spectre que es capaz de omitir su mitigación de retpoline en el kernel para filtrar datos arbitrarios. Un atacante con acceso de usuario no privilegiado puede secuestrar las instrucciones de retorno para lograr una ejecución arbitraria de código especulativo bajo determinadas condiciones dependientes de la microarquitectura
