Description Petr Matousek 2022-03-08 11:06:46 UTC 
The speculative execution window of AMD LFENCE/JMP  mitigation (MITIGATION V2-2) may be large enough to be  exploited on AMD CPUs. 

An Intel PoC (proof of concept) demonstrates that the  speculative execution window for an incorrect indirect branch  prediction using an LFENCE/JMP sequence may potentially be  large enough to allow exploitation using CVE-2017-5715. This  was observed on AMD CPUs codenamed “Zen”, “Zen+”, “Zen 2”, and “Zen 3” using a specific workload on a Simultaneous  Multi-Threading (SMT) sibling thread.
