LXSA
LXSA refers to a family of security vulnerabilities found in certain AMD processors. These vulnerabilities, disclosed in 2019, are related to the processor's design and how it handles speculative execution. Speculative execution is a technique where a processor predicts future instructions and executes them in advance to improve performance.
LXSA vulnerabilities allow for the potential leakage of sensitive information from one process to another, even
These vulnerabilities are a type of side-channel attack, meaning they exploit unintended information leakage through physical
AMD has released microcode updates and software patches to mitigate these vulnerabilities. Users are advised to
