These vulnerabilities could allow an unprivileged, local attacker, in specific circumstances, to read privileged memory belonging to other processes. The first vulnerability, CVE-2018-3639, is known as Spectre Variant 4 or SpectreNG. The second vulnerability, CVE-2018-3640, is known as Spectre Variant 3a. Both of these attacks are variants of the attacks disclosed in January 2018 and leverage cache-timing attacks to infer any disclosed data. To exploit either of these vulnerabilities, an attacker must be able to run crafted or script code on an affected device. Although the underlying CPU and operating system combination in a product or service may be affected by these vulnerabilities, the majority of Cisco products are closed systems that do not allow customers to run custom code and are, therefore, not vulnerable. There is no vector to exploit them. Cisco products are considered potentially vulnerable only if they allow customers to execute custom code side-by-side with Cisco code on the same microprocessor. A Cisco product that may be deployed as a virtual machine or a container, even while not directly affected by any of these vulnerabilities, could be targeted by such attacks if the hosting environment is vulnerable. Cisco recommends that customers harden their virtual environments, tightly control user access, and ensure that all security updates are installed. Customers who are deploying products as a virtual device in multi-tenant hosting environments should ensure that the underlying hardware, as well as operating system or hypervisor, is patched against the vulnerabilities in question. Although Cisco cloud services are not directly affected by these vulnerabilities, the infrastructure on which they run may be impacted. Refer to the "Affected Products" section of this advisory for information about the impact of these vulnerabilities on Cisco cloud services. Cisco will release software updates that address these vulnerabilities. There are no workarounds that address these vulnerabilities. This advisory is available at the following link: https://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/ cisco-sa-20180521-cpusidechannel Affected Products o Any product or service not listed in the "Vulnerable Products" section of this advisory is to be considered not vulnerable.

The vulnerability is due to improper implementation of the speculative execution of instructions by the affected software. This vulnerability can be triggered by causing the CPU to attempt to perform a speculative memory read before currently queued memory writes are completed. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by executing arbitrary code and performing a side-channel attack on the cache of the targeted system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to read sensitive memory information. This vulnerability has been assigned the following CVE ID: CVE-2018-3639 Modern CPU Rogue System Register Read Information Disclosure Vulnerability A vulnerability due to the design of most modern CPUs could allow a local attacker to access sensitive information on a targeted system. The vulnerability is due to improper implementation of the speculative execution of instructions by the affected software. This vulnerability can by triggered by causing an affected platform to perform speculative reads of system registers. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by executing arbitrary code and performing a side-channel attack on the cache of the targeted system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to read sensitive memory information. This vulnerability has been assigned the following CVE ID: CVE-2018-3640 Workarounds o There are no workarounds that address these vulnerabilities. Fixed Software o For information about fixed software releases, consult the Cisco bug ID(s) at the top of this advisory. When considering software upgrades, customers are advised to regularly consult the advisories for Cisco products, which are available from the Cisco Security Advisories and Alerts page, to determine exposure and a complete upgrade solution. In all cases, customers should ensure that the devices to be upgraded contain sufficient memory and confirm that current hardware and software configurations will continue to be supported properly by the new release. If the information is not clear, customers are advised to contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) or their contracted maintenance providers. Exploitation and Public Announcements o The Cisco Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) is not aware of any public announcements or malicious use of the vulnerabilities that are described in this advisory. Source o CVE ID CVE-2018-3639 was reported to Intel by Jann Horn of Google Project Zero (GPZ) and Ken Johnson of the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC). CVE ID CVE-2018-3640 was reported to Intel by Zdenek Sojka, Rudolf Marek, and Alex Zuepke from SYSGO AG.
