Doc Text:	A flaw was found in the implementation of the "fill buffer", a mechanism used by modern CPUs when a cache-miss is made on L1 CPU cache. If an attacker can generate a load operation that would create a page fault, the execution will continue speculatively with incorrect data from the fill buffer while the data is fetched from higher level caches. This response time can be measured to infer data in the fill buffer.	Story Points:	---

Description Wade Mealing 2018-11-06 02:14:36 UTC

A flaw was found by researchers in the implementation of fill buffers used by Intel microprocessors.

A fill buffer holds data that has missed in the processor L1 data cache, as a result of an attempt to use a value that is not present. When a level 1 data cache miss occurs within an Intel core, the fill buffer design allows the processor to continue with other operations while the value to be accessed is loaded from higher levels of cache. The design also allows the result to be forwarded to the Execution Unit requiring the load directly without being written into the Level 1 data cache.

A load operation is not decoupled in the same way that a store is, but it does involve an AGU (Address Generation Unit) operation. If the AGU generates a fault (#PF, etc.) or an assist (A/D bits) then the classical Intel design would block the load and later reissue it. In contemporary designs, it instead allows subsequent speculation operations to temporarily see a forwarded data value from the fill buffer slot prior to the load actually taking place. Thus it is possible to read data that was recently accessed by another thread if the fill buffer entry is not overwritten.

OpenShift Container Platform 4 does not ship its own kernel package, instead using versions shipped in RHEL. Removing from flaw bug affects.
