Branch Privilege Injection (CVE-2024-45332) brings back the full might of branch target injection attacks (Spectre-BTI) on Intel. Intel’s hardware mitigations against these types of attacks have held their ground for almost 6 years. In our work, we demonstrate how these mitigations can be broken due to a race condition in Intel CPUs. Our Branch Privilege injection attack is made possible by the following two main insights: Branch predictors on Intel processors are updated asynchronously to the

Typically, these regions are populated with information like passwords, cryptographic keys, memory of other processes, and kernel data structures, so protecting them from leakage is crucial. According to ETH Zurich researchers Sandro Rüegge, Johannes Wikner, and Kaveh Razavi, Spectre v2 mitigations held f
