  • OpenBSD Errata: June 17th, 2018 (intelfpu)

    From T.J. Townsend@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jun 18 04:10:02 2018
    Errata patches for x86 floating-point units have been released for OpenBSD 6.3.

    Intel CPUs speculatively access FPU registers even when the FPU is disabled,
    so data (including AES keys) from previous contexts could be discovered if using the lazy-save approach.

    Binary updates for the amd64 platform are available via the syspatch utility. Source code patches can be found on the errata page:

    https://www.openbsd.org/errata63.html

    As this affects the kernel, a reboot will be needed after patching.
