MIT researchers present PACMAN, a new speculative execution attack that bypasses the software security primitive called pointer authentication on Apple’s M1 processor.

The so-called PACMAN attack exploits a flaw in ARM Pointer Authentication.

There's a new security flaw in the Apple M1 chip. Dubbed Pacman, the bug is said to be unpatchable -- but it probably won't chomp you.

Apples flashy M1 chip has an unfixable security flaw.

PACMAN attack drives the CPU crazy.

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), including Indian-origin Joseph Ravichandran, have identified a new hardware vulnerability in Apples in-house silicon M1 chip that powers Macs.

MIT CSAIL scientists have created a PACMAN attack methodology that leverages both software and hardware attacks to steal data from Arm-based processors, including the Apple M1.

Researchers say they have discovered an unpatchable vulnerability affecting Apples custom Arm-based M1 silicon at the chips last level of defense.

MIT CSAIL scientists say they’ve created a novel hardware attack against the Apple M1 chip that defeats the last line of security while leaving no trace. The M1 chip uses a feature called “Pointer Authentication,” which acts as a last line of defense against typical software vulnerabilities. With Po

A new hardware attack targeting Pointer Authentication in Apple M1 CPUs with speculative execution enables attackers to gain arbitrary code execution on Mac systems.
