Researchers at cybersecurity research and consulting firm Trail of Bits have discovered a vulnerability that could allow attackers to read GPU local memory from affected Apple, Qualcomm, AMD and Imagination GPUs. In particular, the vulnerability-which the researchers named LeftoverLocals-can access conversations performed with large language models and machine learning models on affected GPUs.

Researchers at cybersecurity research and consulting firm Trail of Bits have discovered a vulnerability that could allow attackers to read GPU local memory from affected Apple, Qualcomm, AMD and Imagination GPUs. In particular, the vulnerability-which the researchers named LeftoverLocals-can access conversations performed with large language models and machine learning models on affected GPUs.

Research made public on Tuesday detailed how miscreants can exploit the hole to read data they're not supposed to in a system's local GPU memory. While the flaw potentially affects all GPU applications on vulnerable chips, it is especially concerning for those processing machine-learning applications because of the amount of data these models process using GPUs, and therefore the amount of potentially sensitive information that could be swiped by exploiting this issue.

A new vulnerability dubbed 'LeftoverLocals' affecting graphics processing units from AMD, Apple, Qualcomm, and Imagination Technologies allows retrieving data from the local memory space. [...]
