CVE-2017-5754
|
|
|
|
AMD processors are not subject to the types of attacks that the kernel
|
|
page table isolation feature protects against. The AMD microarchitecture
|
|
does not allow memory references, including speculative references, that
|
|
access higher privileged data when running in a lesser privileged mode
|
|
when that access would result in a page fault.
|
|
|
|
Disable page table isolation by default on AMD processors by not setting
|
|
the X86_BUG_CPU_INSECURE feature, which controls whether X86_FEATURE_PTI
|
|
is set.
