Nvidia DGX systems prone to side channel, covert attacks

Reverse engineering yields sticky microarchitectural vulnerabilities

Nvidia's ultra-dense GPU-driven AI training and inference systems are prone to covert and side channel attacks, according to research just published from a team led by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). This might be less concerning for those with on-prem DGX systems, but for cloud vendors selling time on the AI training boxes, the vulnerabilities are worth noting.…
