Logo for the Load Value Injection security vulnerability

Load value injection (LVI) is an attack on Intel microprocessors that can be used to attack Intel's SGX technology.[1] It is a development of the previously known Meltdown security vulnerability. Unlike Meltdown, which can only read hidden data, LVI can inject data values, and is resistant to the countermeasures so far used to mitigate the Meltdown vulnerability.[2][3]

As of March 2020, LVI is only known to affect Intel microprocessors.[2]
