Downfall Attack Enables Extraction of Passwords and Encryption Key From Intel Microprocessor

Gather Data Sampling (GDS) impacts select Intel CPUs, enabling attackers to deduce outdated data through malicious use of gather instructions. While all these entries link to the prior thread or sibling core registers. Like MDS, GDS (Gather Data Sampling) enables local code execution to reveal protected secret data. GDS is different from MDS as it […]
