NEW ARM 'TIKTAG' ATTACK IMPACTS GOOGLE CHROME, LINUX SYSTEMS
Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter
A new research called TIKTAG demonstrates attacks on ARM's Memory Tagging Extension (MTE) to leak data, impacting Google Chrome and Linux Systems. The attack exploits speculative execution to bypass security measures, potentially enabling memory corruption vulnerabilities. Researchers have proposed hardware modifications and code changes to mitigate TIKTAG attacks.
