- The new class of vulnerabilities in Intel processors arises from speculative technologies that anticipate individual computing steps.
- Openings enable gradual reading of entire privilege memory contents of shared processor (CPU).
- All Intel processors from the last 6 years are affected, from PCs to servers in data centres.

This sounds just like Spectre/heartbleed. Haven’t we learned our lesson with speculative computation? I guess not…
Well you know what they say, if it was a bad idea 10 fucking years ago, then let’s do it again!
Intel has not learned, still making money on crap chips.
Intel has already deployed a fix for this in the 13th and 14th gen by permanently damaging the chip and crashing. Checkmate hackers.
Another day, another speculative execution vulnerability.
No catchy name for the vulnerability? It can’t be that bad, then…
Let’s call it Son of Spectre
Bond, James Bond. Junior.
This vulnerability fundamentally undermines data security, particularly in the cloud environment where many users share the same hardware resources.
Intel gets punched again.
I feel pretty duh here. That’s a great point.
Who, my good friend, fucking WHO still buys Intel for the servers? It sucks so hard, I don’t get it.
Anyone having a link to a more technical (detailed) description?
This is quite novice orientated and I’d be very interested on how it actually works. Is there anything already disclosed?Edit: link at the end to the original research/more detailed explanation:
