Google Cloud Alerts Users to Three AMD Turin CPU Vulnerabilities in VMs

Google Cloud has issued a warning about three side-channel CPU flaws affecting AMD Turin chips used in its virtual machines, including a newly disclosed vulnerability, CVE-2026-0004. These flaws could allow an attacker with code on the same processor core to infer data from other processes or the kernel within a VM. Mitigation requires guest OS patches and a stop-and-start cycle for affected VMs.
