A Foreshadowing of Another Exploit: The Appearance of the Foreshadow Attack
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/a-foreshadowing-of-another-exploit-the-appearance-of-the-foreshadow-attack/Dubbed “Foreshadow,” this speculative execution attack allows an attacker to steal sensitive information stored inside personal computers or third-party clouds. There are two versions: the original attack designed to extract data from Software Guard Extensions (SGX) enclaves and a next-generation version that affects virtual machines (VM), hypervisors, operating system kernel memory, and System Management Mode (SMM) memory. SGX is a new feature in modern CPUs which allows computers to protect users’ data, even if the entire system falls under the attacker’s control.
