TSA attack leads to information leakage from AMD CPU microarchitecture structures.

Posted on

AMD has disclosed information about a new class of microarchitectural attacks on its processors—TSA (Transient Scheduler Attack). This attack allows an attacker to bypass CPU isolation mechanisms and determine data being processed in other contexts, for instance, to obtain information processed at the kernel level from user space or to learn data used in another guest system from a guest system. Vulnerabilities were identified during […]

Vulnerabilities in Git allow for code execution when accessing an external repository.

Vulnerabilities in Redis and Valkey databases

Posted on

Corrective releases of the Redis DBMS (6.2.19, 7.2.10, 7.4.5, 8.0.3) and Valkey (8.0.4, 8.1.3) have been published, addressing two vulnerabilities. The most critical vulnerability (CVE-2025-32023) could potentially allow remote code execution on the server due to data being written outside the bounds of allocated buffers. To exploit the vulnerability, the attacker must be capable of sending commands to the DBMS. This issue is caused by a flaw in […]
