Dynamic quantization in ML frameworks leaks user data across batches

A new research paper identifies a critical vulnerability in dynamic quantization, a technique used to optimize machine learning model serving. Dubbed "Quantamination," this flaw allows adversaries to potentially steal sensitive user data from other inputs within the same processing batch. The vulnerability arises from side channels created by improperly implemented or configured dynamic quantization, affecting at least four popular machine learning frameworks. AI
