Security Review Request — TID Linux Kernel Module
Source Reddit ExploitDev
Discussion
The TID Linux Kernel Module is an independent security research project designed to mitigate cache-based side-channel attacks by immediately evicting sensitive data remnants from CPU cache layers after use. It uses hardware-level instructions to clear cache contents, addressing a known security gap where sensitive data can persist in CPU caches even after being cleared from system memory. This project is a defensive mechanism and does not represent a vulnerability or exploit. There is no indication of any security threat or exploit associated with this module. It is open source and licensed under AGPL-3.0.
