CVE-2022-23960 (GCVE-0-2022-23960)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2022-03-12 23:57 – Updated: 2026-10-08 21:14
VLAI
Summary
Certain Arm Cortex and Neoverse processors through 2022-03-08 do not properly restrict cache speculation, aka Spectre-BHB. An attacker can leverage the shared branch history in the Branch History Buffer (BHB) to influence mispredicted branches. Then, cache allocation can allow the attacker to obtain sensitive information.
