Security researchers at the CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security have discovered a vulnerability they’ve called ‘GhostWrite’ that’s caused by a hardware bug in T-Head’s XuanTie C910 and C920 RISC-V CPUs. Vector extensions that are supposed to provide translation of virtual memory addresses to physical addresses don’t work, meaning that an attacker can gain access to the […]
