The vulnerability is known to affect Skylake and later processors from Intel and Zen-based processors from AMD. [54] In February 2023, a team of researchers at North Carolina State University uncovered a new code execution vulnerability called Spectre-HD, also known as "Spectre SRV" or "Spectre v6".
On March 15, 2018, Intel reported that it will redesign its CPUs (performance losses to be determined) to protect against the Spectre security vulnerability, and expects to release the newly redesigned processors later in 2018. [22] [23] On May 3, 2018, eight additional Spectre-class flaws were reported.
Speculative Store Bypass (SSB) (CVE-2018-3639) is the name given to a hardware security vulnerability and its exploitation that takes advantage of speculative execution in a similar way to the Meltdown and Spectre security vulnerabilities. [1]
Meltdown exploits a race condition, inherent in the design of many modern CPUs.This occurs between memory access and privilege checking during instruction processing. . Additionally, combined with a cache side-channel attack, this vulnerability allows a process to bypass the normal privilege checks that isolate the exploit process from accessing data belonging to the operating system and other ...
Retbleed is a speculative execution attack on x86-64 and ARM processors, including some recent Intel and AMD chips. [1] [2] First made public in 2022, it is a variant of the Spectre vulnerability which exploits retpoline, which was a mitigation for speculative execution attacks.
A map claiming to show the areas of the US that may be targeted in a nuclear war that originally circulated in 2015 is making the rounds again, amid the Russian war in Ukraine.. The map indicates ...
The United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) was a team under the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency of the Department of Homeland Security. On February 24, 2023, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) retired US-CERT and ICS-CERT, integrating CISA’s operational content into a new CISA.gov ...
Lazy FPU state leak (CVE-2018-3665), also referred to as Lazy FP State Restore [1] or LazyFP, [2] [3] is a security vulnerability affecting Intel Core CPUs. [1] [4] The vulnerability is caused by a combination of flaws in the speculative execution technology present within the affected CPUs [1] and how certain operating systems handle context switching on the floating point unit (FPU).
