AMD Epyc 9734 Firmware: vulnerabilities and CVEs

Improper re-initialization of IOMMU during the DRTM event may permit an untrusted platform configuration to persist, allowing an attacker to read or modify hypervisor memory, potentially resulting in loss of…

IOMMU improperly handles certain special address ranges with invalid device table entries (DTEs), which may allow an attacker with privileges and a compromised Hypervisor to induce DTE faults to bypass RMP checks in…

A TOCTOU (Time-Of-Check-Time-Of-Use) in SMM may allow an attacker with ring0 privileges and access to the BIOS menu or UEFI shell to modify the communications buffer potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution.

Improper restriction of write operations in SNP firmware could allow a malicious hypervisor to potentially overwrite a guest's memory or UMC seed resulting in loss of confidentiality and integrity.

Improper input validation in SEV-SNP could allow a malicious hypervisor to read or overwrite guest memory potentially leading to data leakage or data corruption.

Improper restriction of write operations in SNP firmware could allow a malicious hypervisor to overwrite a guest's UMC seed potentially allowing reading of memory from a decommissioned guest.

A privileged attacker can prevent delivery of debug exceptions to SEV-SNP guests potentially resulting in guests not receiving expected debug information.

Improper address validation in ASP with SNP enabled may potentially allow an attacker to compromise guest memory integrity.

SMM configuration may not be immutable, as intended, when SNP is enabled resulting in a potential limited loss of guest memory integrity.

Insufficient DRAM address validation in System Management Unit (SMU) may allow an attacker to read/write from/to an invalid DRAM address, potentially resulting in denial-of-service.

Improper clearing of sensitive data in the ASP Bootloader may expose secret keys to a privileged attacker accessing ASP SRAM, potentially leading to a loss of confidentiality.

Failure to validate the value in APCB may allow a privileged attacker to tamper with the APCB token to force an out-of-bounds memory read potentially resulting in a denial of service.

A side channel vulnerability on some of the AMD CPUs may allow an attacker to influence the return address prediction. This may result in speculative execution at an attacker-controlled address, potentially leading to…

A potential power side-channel vulnerability in some AMD processors may allow an authenticated attacker to use the power reporting functionality to monitor a program’s execution inside an AMD SEV VM potentially…
