#CVE-2019-9815: Disable hyperthreading on content JavaScript threads on macOS
Reporter
Multiple independent researchers
Impact
high
Description
If hyperthreading is not disabled, a timing attack vulnerability exists, similar to previous Spectre attacks. Apple has shipped macOS 10.14.5 with an option to disable hyperthreading in applications running untrusted code in a thread through a new sysctl. Firefox now makes use of it on the main thread and any worker threads.
Note: users need to update to macOS 10.14.5 in order to take advantage of this change.
