The bug allows attackers to swipe data from a CPU’s registers. […] the exploit doesn’t require physical hardware access and can be triggered by loading JavaScript on a malicious website.
This is really bad. Mostly because there’s nothing to be done other than shutting down any of the affected processors until some time in the fall.
This is shaping up to be a real mess, a ton of companies are looking at whole fleet upgrades if they don’t wanna wait around for patches.
This is why you have especially generous bug bounty programs folks. :(
Doesn’t AMD already have the fix for this out?
All of a sudden I feel a lot happier with my 1800X. ☺️
I suppose that after Intel got their reaming, AMD was due for theirs. Any word on related vulns targeting ARM?
