Transcription of Speculative Buffer Overflows: Attacks and Defenses
{{id}} {{{paragraph}}}
Speculative Buffer Overflows: Attacks and DefensesVladimir Attacks that exploit Speculative execution can leakconfidential information via microarchitectural side chan-nels. The recently-demonstrated Spectre Attacks leveragespeculative loads which circumvent access checks to readmemory-resident secrets, transmitting them to an attackerusing cache timing or other covert communication , a new Spectre-v1 variant thatleverages speculativestoresto createspeculative Buffer over-flows. Much like classic Buffer overflows, Speculative out-of-bounds stores can modify data and code pointers. Data-valueattacks can bypass some Spectre-v1 mitigations, either di-rectly or by redirecting control flow. Control-flow attacksenable arbitrary Speculative code execution, which can by-pass fence instructions and all other software mitigationsfor previous Speculative -execution Attacks .
