New GoFetch Vulnerability in Apple’s M Chips Allows Secret Keys Leak on Compromised Computers
2024-03-26 13:00

The newly exposed GoFetch vulnerability affecting Apple's M1, M2 and M3 chips lets an attacker exfiltrate secret keys from cryptographic applications on a targeted system. DMPs - in contrast to classical prefetchers that only store the memory access pattern - "Also take into account the contents of data memory directly to determine what to prefetch," as written in the publication from Boru Chen, Yingchen Wang, Pradyumna Shome, Christopher W. Fletcher, David Kohlbrenner, Riccardo Paccagnella and Daniel Genkin that reveals all of the details about the GoFetch vulnerability.

Hardware-level Apple Silicon vulnerability can leak cryptographic keys
2024-03-22 15:03

Apple is having its own Meltdown/Spectre moment with a new side-channel vulnerability found in the architecture of Apple Silicon processors that gives malicious apps the ability to extract cryptographic keys. "We reverse-engineered DMPs on Apple m-series CPUs and found that the DMP activates data loaded from memory that 'looks like' a pointer," the team say in the paper.
