EPYC CacheWarp CPU Exploit Gives Hackers Root Access To Virtual Machines, Patch Now Software vulnerabilities come and go, but vulnerabilities found in hardware are significantly harder to deal with and lead to more problems, such as with Hertzbleed and that family of security issues that sprung up from simple clock management techniques. Now, researchers have found a new problem with AMD EPYC processors that allows an attacker to potentially execute code, break into encrypted virtual machines, and perform privilege escalation in a virtual machine.
