Partial information disclosure via hardware race conditions
Published May 16, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024
Hardware race conditions in Intel processors allow local users with low privileges to obtain partial information disclosure. Intel identifies processor hardware logic as the locus but does not disclose the affected logic, competing operations, or exposed data. Exploitation requires local low-privileged access and high-complexity timing, and the reported effect is limited to confidentiality.
