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.

CVE-2022-23960 CVE-2022-23960: In specific ARM processors, there is a possible side-channel information leak due to a hardware flaw
In specific ARM processors, there is a possible side-channel information leak due to a hardware flaw. This could lead to local information disclosure with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

hw: cpu: arm64: Spectre-BHB
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.
A new cache speculation vulnerability, known as Branch History Injection (BHI) or Spectre-BHB, was found in hw. Spectre-BHB is similar to Spectre v2, except that malicious code uses the shared branch history (stored in the CPU Branch History Buffer, or BHB) to influence mispredicted branches within the victim's hardware context. Once that occurs, speculation caused by the mispredicted branches can cause cache allocation. This issue leads to o
