Abstract: A driving circuit and arrangement for driving a load between two output terminals. The driving circuit comprises an input and output terminals connected to the input. A fault detection inductor is connected in series with the output terminals, and is configured to modify an electrical parameter through a feedback inductor responsive to a change in current between the output terminals. The feedback inductor is galvanically isolated, but magnetically coupled, to the fault detection inductor. The driving circuit further comprises a first current sensing inductor through which a current provided by the converter passes, and the feedback inductor is also galvanically isolated, but magnetically coupled, to first current sensing inductor. Thus the feedback inductor can be induced with signal both from the first current sensing inductor and the fault detection inductor and saves components, space, and cost.

Abstract: TLB poisoning attacks take advantage of security issues of translation lookaside buffer (TLB) management on SEV processors in Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) virtual machines (VMs). In various embodiments, a hypervisor may poison TLB entries between two processes of a SEV VM to compromise the integrity and confidentiality of the SEV VM. Variants of TLB poisoning attacks and end-to-end attacks are shown to be successful on both Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) SEV and SEV-Encrypted State (SEV-ES). Countermeasures for thwarting TLB poisoning attacks include hardware-enforced TLB flush processes and re-exec schemes that, among other things, prevent attackers from manipulating TLB entries and causing a privileged victim process to execute malicious code in an attempt to bypass a password authentication.

Abstract: Example embodiments relate to lane adjustment techniques for slow lead agents. A vehicle computing system may use sensor data depicting the surrounding environment to detect when another vehicle is traveling in front of the vehicle at a speed that is less than a threshold minimum speed. If the other vehicle fails to increase speed above the minimum speed, the computing system may determine whether to change lanes to avoid the other vehicle based on speed data for other lanes. In some implementations, the computing system assigns penalties to lane segments surrounding the vehicle based on speed data for the different lane segments. For instance, the path finding system for the vehicle can use penalties and speed data to determine efficient routes that safely circumvent slow agents.
