FreeBSD : FreeBSD -- Lazy FPU State Restore Information Disclosure (4e07d94f-75a5-11e8-85d1-a4badb2f4699)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 110653

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing a security-related update.

Description

A subset of Intel processors can allow a local thread to infer data from another thread through a speculative execution side channel when Lazy FPU state restore is used. Impact : Any local thread can potentially read FPU state information from other threads running on the host. This could include cryptographic keys when the AES-NI CPU feature is present.

Solution

Update the affected package.
