AMD Epyc 7003 Firmware: vulnerabilities and CVEs

Improper initialization of variables in the DXE driver may allow a privileged user to leak sensitive information via local access.

A compromised or malicious ABL or UApp could send a SHA256 system call to the bootloader, which may result in exposure of ASP memory to userspace, potentially leading to information disclosure.

Insufficient bounds checking in ASP may allow an attacker to issue a system call from a compromised ABL which may cause arbitrary memory values to be initialized to zero, potentially leading to a loss of integrity.

Insufficient input validation in the SMU may allow an attacker to improperly lock resources, potentially resulting in a denial of service.

Insufficient bound checks in the SMU may allow an attacker to update the SRAM from/to address space to an invalid value potentially resulting in a denial of service.

Insufficient input validation of BIOS mailbox messages in SMU may result in out-of-bounds memory reads potentially resulting in a denial of service.

Insufficient bound checks in the SMU may allow an attacker to update the from/to address space to an invalid value potentially resulting in a denial of service.

Insufficient input validation in the SMU may allow a physical attacker to exfiltrate SMU memory contents over the I2C bus potentially leading to a loss of confidentiality.

Improper syscall input validation in the ASP Bootloader may allow a privileged attacker to read memory out-of-bounds, potentially leading to a denial-of-service.

Insufficient syscall input validation in the ASP Bootloader may allow a privileged attacker to read memory outside the bounds of a mapped register potentially leading to a denial of service.

TOCTOU in the ASP may allow a physical attacker to write beyond the buffer bounds, potentially leading to a loss of integrity or denial of service.

Improper input validation and bounds checking in SEV firmware may leak scratch buffer bytes leading to potential information disclosure.

Insufficient bounds checking in ASP (AMD Secure Processor) firmware while handling BIOS mailbox commands, may allow an attacker to write partially-controlled data out-of-bounds to SMM or SEV-ES regions which may lead to…

Insufficient input validation in SYS_KEY_DERIVE system call in a compromised user application or ABL may allow an attacker to corrupt ASP (AMD Secure Processor) OS memory which may lead to potential arbitrary code…

Insufficient validation of address mapping to IO in ASP (AMD Secure Processor) may result in a loss of memory integrity in the SNP guest.

Insufficient fencing and checks in System Management Unit (SMU) may result in access to invalid message port registers that could result in a potential denial-of-service.

Insufficient validation in ASP BIOS and DRTM commands may allow malicious supervisor x86 software to disclose the contents of sensitive memory which may result in information disclosure.

Failure to verify the mode of CPU execution at the time of SNP_INIT may lead to a potential loss of memory integrity for SNP guests.

Failure to validate the communication buffer and communication service in the BIOS may allow an attacker to tamper with the buffer resulting in potential SMM (System Management Mode) arbitrary code execution.

IBPB may not prevent return branch predictions from being specified by pre-IBPB branch targets leading to a potential information disclosure.

Execution unit scheduler contention may lead to a side channel vulnerability found on AMD CPU microarchitectures codenamed “Zen 1”, “Zen 2” and “Zen 3” that use simultaneous multithreading (SMT). By measuring the…

An attacker with access to a malicious hypervisor may be able to infer data values used in a SEV guest on AMD CPUs by monitoring ciphertext values over time.

AMD EPYC™ Processors contain an information disclosure vulnerability in the Secure Encrypted Virtualization with Encrypted State (SEV-ES) and Secure Encrypted Virtualization with Secure Nested Paging (SEV-SNP). A local…

Insufficient DRAM address validation in System Management Unit (SMU) may result in a DMA read from invalid DRAM address to SRAM resulting in SMU not servicing further requests.

Insufficient bounds checking in System Management Unit (SMU) may cause invalid memory accesses/updates that could result in SMU hang and subsequent failure to service any further requests from other components.

Improper input and range checking in the AMD Secure Processor (ASP) boot loader image header may allow an attacker to use attacker-controlled values prior to signature validation potentially resulting in arbitrary code…

AMD System Management Unit (SMU) contains a potential issue where a malicious user may be able to manipulate mailbox entries leading to arbitrary code execution.

AMD System Management Unit (SMU) may experience a heap-based overflow which may result in a loss of resources.

Insufficient validation of guest context in the SNP Firmware could lead to a potential loss of guest confidentiality.

When the AMD Platform Security Processor (PSP) boot rom loads, authenticates, and subsequently decrypts an encrypted FW, due to insufficient verification of the integrity of decrypted image, arbitrary code may be…
