Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions ARM processors (affected versions not specified)
Description The issue allows data and code pointers from JavaScript to be leaked, breaking Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR), by exploiting a side-channel attack on Memory Management Unit (MMU) operations. This is possible because page table walks conducted by the MMU during virtual to physical address translation leave a trace in the last level cache of modern ARM processors.
Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
