TL;DR Summary

Researchers have identified a vulnerability, named LeftoverLocals, in GPUs from Apple, AMD, and Qualcomm, which could allow attackers to access and steal large amounts of data from the GPU's memory. This poses a significant security concern as GPUs have not been designed with the same level of data privacy as CPUs. The vulnerability, which requires prior operating system access, could potentially expose sensitive data including AI-generated queries and responses. While Apple has released fixes for its latest processors, millions of existing devices remain vulnerable, highlighting the urgent need for addressing GPU security.
