Both side channels are the result of the chips\u2019 use of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Speculative_execution\">speculative execution<\/a>, a performance optimization that improves speed by predicting the control flow the CPUs should take and following that path, rather than the instruction order in the program.<\/p>\n<h2>A new direction<\/h2>\n<p>The Apple silicon affected takes speculative execution in new directions. Besides predicting control flow CPUs should take, it also predicts the data flow, such as which memory address to load from and what value will be returned from memory.<\/p>\n<p>The most powerful of the two side-channel attacks is named FLOP. It exploits a form of speculative execution implemented in the chips\u2019 load value predictor (LVP), which predicts the contents of memory when they\u2019re not immediately available. By inducing the LVP to forward values from malformed data, an attacker can read memory contents that would normally be off-limits. The attack can be leveraged to steal a target\u2019s location history from Google Maps, inbox content from Proton Mail, and events stored in iCloud Calendar.<\/p>\n<p>SLAP, meanwhile, abuses the load address predictor (LAP). Whereas LVP predicts the values of memory content, LAP predicts the memory locations where instruction data can be accessed. SLAP forces the LAP to predict the wrong memory addresses. Specifically, the value at an older load instruction&#8217;s predicted address is forwarded to younger arbitrary instructions. When Safari has one tab open on a targeted website such as Gmail, and another open tab on an attacker site, the latter can access sensitive strings of JavaScript code of the former, making it possible to read email contents.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple-designed chips powering Macs, iPhones, and iPads contain two newly discovered vulnerabilities that leak credit card information, locations, and other sensitive data from the Chrome and Safari browsers as they visit sites such as iCloud Calendar, Google Maps, and Proton Mail.
