Sensitive-information exposure via UEFI side channel
Published Jul 17, 2025 · Updated Jul 17, 2025
Side-channel exposure in NVIDIA Jetson Linux UEFI Management mode allows physically proximate attackers to read sensitive data. NVIDIA has not disclosed which UEFI Management operation or state exposes information or how the side channel derives it. Exploitation requires physical access and high complexity; successful attacks can also execute code, tamper with data, or interrupt service.
