Researchers have discovered a new and powerful transient execution attack called 'Inception' that can leak privileged secrets and data using unprivileged processes on all AMD Zen CPUs, including the latest models.

Researchers at ETH Zurich have now combined an older technique named 'Phantom speculation' with a new transient execution attack called 'Training in Transient Execution' to create an even more powerful 'Inception' attack.

AMD has received an external report titled 'INCEPTION', describing a new speculative side channel attack.
