A Flaw in Millions of Apple, AMD, and Qualcomm GPUs Could Expose AI Data

1PW · Jan 17, 2024

As more companies ramp up development of artificial intelligence systems, they are increasingly turning to graphics processing unit (GPU) chips for the computing power they need to run large language models (LLMs) and to crunch data quickly at massive scale. Between video game processing and AI, demand for GPUs has never been higher, and chipmakers are rushing to bolster supply. In new findings released today, though, researchers are highlighting a vulnerability in multiple brands and models of mainstream GPUs—including Apple, Qualcomm, and AMD chips—that could allow an attacker to steal large quantities of data from a GPU’s memory.

It seems after all the CPU vulnerabilities, the focus is now starting to shift towards the GPU.

To exploit the vulnerability, which the researchers call LeftoverLocals, attackers would need to already have established some amount of operating system access on a target’s device.

As is the case, more often than not, it comes with a huge caveat.
