AMD chips come with Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV), a security feature designed to encrypt virtual machine (VM) memory to protect it from unauthorized access, including by the hypervisor or other VMs.

The researchers claim SNP can be bypassed, if the attacker has physical access to the target device.

They used a Raspberry Pi Pico to “fake” additional RAM , and exfiltrated secrets from it.

AMD released a security advisory, and is now tracking the flaw as CVE-2024-21944 .
