Abstract: A system, method and processor that mitigates security vulnerabilities using context-dependent address space hiding. In some embodiments, a hardware mechanism allows a more-privileged software component managing multiple less-privileged software components to blind itself against “out-of-context” less-privileged software components. The hardware mechanism can allow the more-privileged software component to dynamically hide a portion of the more-privileged address space related to the “out-of-context” less-privileged software components, based on knowledge of the “in-context” less-privileged software component. A context register is set with a value from which an address range, within the address space of the more-privileged software component, can be determined, where the address range is associated with a first less-privileged software component can be determined.
