"GhostWrite Vulnerability Facilitates Attacks on Devices With RISC-V CPU"

Researchers from the CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security in Germany have detailed a RISC-V CPU vulnerability dubbed "GhostWrite." RISC-V is an open source Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) designed for developing custom processors for different applications, including embedded systems, microcontrollers, and more. The team found the vulnerability in the XuanTie C910 CPU made by the Chinese chip company T-Head. GhostWrite enables attackers with limited privileges to read and write from and to physical memory, which could allow them to gain full access to the targeted device. This article continues to discuss the potential exploitation and impact of the GhostWrite vulnerability.
