Hyper-Threading technology, as used in FreeBSD and other operating systems that are run on Intel Pentium and other processors, allows local users to use a malicious thread to create covert channels, monitor the execution of other threads, and obtain sensitive information such as cryptographic keys, via a timing attack on memory cache misses.

Exploit prediction (EPSS)

0.51% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 44% of all scored CVEs.
