CVE-2026-0004: AMD processors transient execution L1D cache inference

CVE-2026-0004 · Severity: info · Published 2026-11-12

A vulnerability in certain AMD processors allows an attacker who can run code on a system to read data from the processor's L1 cache memory, potentially exposing sensitive information that should be isolated between different privilege levels. This could lead to information disclosure affecting confidential data processing on affected systems.

Technologies: Amd Processors. Vendors: Amd.

Technical details

This is a transient execution vulnerability affecting AMD processors' L1D cache, where an attacker with local code execution capability can infer cached data through side-channel analysis. The vulnerability allows data leakage across privilege boundaries, compromising isolation mechanisms between kernel and user-space or between different security domains. A microcode or firmware fix is required from AMD.
