With PLATYPUS, we present novel software-based power side-channel attacks on Intel server, desktop and laptop CPUs. We exploit the unprivileged access to the Intel RAPL interface exposing the processor's power consumption to infer data and extract cryptographic keys.

[...]

On Linux, the powercap framework provides unprivileged access to the Intel RAPL counters. With a recent security update, this access is revoked, and an unprivileged attacker can not retrieve power measurements anymore.

However, this update does not protect against a privileged attacker, e.g., a compromised operating system targeting Intel SGX. To mitigate attacks in this scenario, Intel released microcode updates to affected processors. These updates ensure that the reported energy consumption hinders the ability to distinguish the same instructions with different data or operands if Intel SGX is enabled on the system.

Please make sure to get the latest updates for your operating system and BIOS.

List of Intel CPUs affected: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/security-center/advisory/intel-sa-00389.html

AMD and ARM processors may also be affected, though untested.

We're pleased to announce the opening of a new location in San Jose, California. Based out of Hurricane Electric's FMT2 datacenter, this new location will provide optimal connectivity to Silicon Valley, the west coast of the United States, and the Asia-Pacific region. Network speeds and latency can be tested with our looking glass: https://sjc.lg.xenspec.com/

To celebrate this new expansion, we'll be offering all servers in San Jose FREE for the first month. The coupon code 4TTH9IPK7D can be used on any of our San Jose-based dedicated servers.

Our support team is ready to assist with any questions about the new location. We're always happy to help!

--Support Services--

In need of support? Our team is glad to help! We're reachable through our ticketing system, our website's Live Chat, and email at support@xenspec.com

Our dedicated servers are unmanaged, however we will try to make every attempt to help with any issues that may arise. If we're not able to assist with a certain issue, we'll certainly get you pointed in the right direction. All hardware and network issues are fully covered, custom software and certain operating system issues will be our best effort.

For out-of-band access and reboot capabilities, we offer proxied IPMI access. This ensures that the IPMI interface is always secure, and is not accessible when not in use. Creating a session and logging into IPMI can be done within our customer portal, under the service you wish to connect to.

Thank you!

LVI is a new class of transient-execution attacks exploiting microarchitectural flaws in modern processors to inject attacker data into a victim program and steal sensitive data and keys from Intel SGX, a secure vault in Intel processors for your personal data.

LVI turns previous data extraction attacks around, like Meltdown, Foreshadow, ZombieLoad, RIDL and Fallout, and defeats all existing mitigations. Instead of directly leaking data from the victim to the attacker, we proceed in the opposite direction: we smuggle — "inject" — the attacker's data through hidden processor buffers into a victim program and hijack transient execution to acquire sensitive information, such as the victim’s fingerprints or passwords.

[...]

LVI in 4 simple steps:
1. Poison a hidden processor buffer with attacker values.
2. Induce a faulting or assisted load in the victim program.
3. The attacker's value is transiently injected into code gadgets following the faulting load in the victim program.
4. Side channels may leave secret-dependent traces, before the processor detects the mistake and rolls back all operations.

Thanks for reading the thread!
Have a good day!

We present CacheOut, a new speculative execution attack that is capable of leaking data from Intel CPUs across many security boundaries. We show that despite Intel's attempts to address previous generations of speculative execution attacks, CPUs are still vulnerable, allowing attackers to exploit these vulnerabilities to leak sensitive data.

Moreover, unlike previous MDS issues, we show in our work how an attacker can exploit the CPU's caching mechanisms to select what data to leak, as opposed to waiting for the data to be available. Finally, we empirically demonstrate that CacheOut can violate nearly every hardware-based security domain, leaking data from the OS kernel, co-resident virtual machines, and even SGX enclaves.
