Apple recently announced the discovery of a new GPU vulnerability in their M2 MacBook Air, which could potentially affect other Apple devices as well. This vulnerability, known as LeftoverLocals, has also been found in GPUs manufactured by Qualcomm, AMD, and Imagination.
The LeftoverLocals vulnerability allows attackers to access residual data from GPU processing. In a demonstration, researchers showcased how an AI chatbot query could exploit this vulnerability, enabling attackers to listen in on another user's interactive session across different processes or containers.
