Apple M-Series Chips’ New “GoFetch” Vulnerability Exposes Secret Encryption Keys
Apple M-series semiconductors contain a new security flaw that could be leveraged to extract secret keys needed for cryptographic operations. The vulnerability, dubbed GoFetch, is related to a microarchitectural side-channel attack that targets constant-time cryptographic implementations and retrieves sensitive data from the CPU cache by utilizing a data memory-dependent prefetcher (DMP) feature. The results were […]
