About this tag
CPU security discussions on WindowsForum cover transient execution vulnerabilities in AMD processors, such as CVE-2024-36350 affecting the Store Queue, and the lack of public details on a purported CVE-2025-36350. Cache timing side-channel attacks are also a recurring theme, with demonstrations showing how they can bypass Kernel Address Space Layout Randomization (KASLR) on fully patched Windows 11. These threads explore how modern exploits leverage processor behavior to compromise system security, highlighting ongoing challenges in hardware and software defenses. The tag encompasses vulnerabilities, attack techniques, and mitigation concerns related to CPU security.
CVE-2024-36350 concerns a transient scheduler attack in the Store Queue of certain AMD processors. The note about the "Corrected CVE number" means that there was previously an error regarding the CVE identifier, but this has since been corrected—this change is informational and does not change...
As of July 8, 2025, there is no publicly available information regarding a vulnerability identified as CVE-2025-36350, specifically related to an "AMD Store Queue Transient Scheduler Attack." This CVE does not appear in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database, and AMD has not...
Cache timing side-channel attacks have re-emerged as a topic of grave concern for system security in recent months, and a new demonstration targeting fully patched Windows 11 installations underscores just how sophisticated modern exploitation techniques have become. The recent revelation that...
