Insufficient input validation in the SMU may allow an attacker to corrupt SMU SRAM potentially leading to a loss of integrity or denial of service.

Insufficient validation in parsing Owner's Certificate Authority (OCA) certificates in SEV (AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization) and SEV-ES user application can lead to a host crash potentially resulting in denial of…

Insufficient input validation of mailbox data in the SMU may allow an attacker to coerce the SMU to corrupt SMRAM, potentially leading to a loss of integrity and privilege escalation.

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.

A TOCTOU in ASP bootloader may allow an attacker to tamper with the SPI ROM following data read to memory potentially resulting in S3 data corruption and 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.

When SMT is enabled, certain AMD processors may speculatively execute instructions using a target from the sibling thread after an SMT mode switch potentially resulting in information disclosure.

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 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.
