Excited to present "Pathfinder: High-Resolution Control-Flow Attacks Exploiting the Conditional Branch Predictor" at @ASPLOSConf with Archit Agarwal, Max Christman, @CryptoGPS, @DanielGenkin, Andrew Kwong, @flowyroll, @deiandelmars, @mktaram and Dean Tullsen. (1/4)🧵 Pathfinder () introduces novel attack primitives that enable adversaries to leak (read) and manipulate (write) the path history register (PHR) and the prediction history tables (PHTs) of the conditional branch predictor in high-performance CPUs.
