We demonstrate how to use PWSC to mount Spectre-V2 attacks that leak up to the entire kernel memory on Intel CPUs with Linear Address Masking (LAM) and Dilithium cryptographic keys on Intel CPUs without LAM.

Finally, we reverse engineer the semantics of Intel’s data-memory dependent prefetcher (DMP) and demonstrate how this DMP and PWSC can be combined to break security in an intra-process sandbox setting.
