New Spectre (Variant 4) CPU Flaw Discovered—Intel, ARM, AMD Affected
Security researchers from Microsoft and Google have discovered a fourth variant of the data-leaking Meltdown-Spectre security flaws impacting modern CPUs in millions of computers, including those marketed by Apple. Variant 4 comes weeks after German computer magazine Heise reported about a set of...
Microsoft Guidance for Speculative Store Bypass
Executive summary On January 3, 2018, Microsoft released an advisory and security updates related to a newly-discovered class of hardware vulnerabilities known as Spectre and Meltdown involving speculative execution side channels that affect AMD, ARM, and Intel CPUs to varying degrees. On May 21s...
hw: cpu: speculative execution permission faults handling
An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern microprocessor designs have implemented speculative execution of instructions a commonly used performance optimization. There are three primary variants of the issue which differ in the way the speculative execution can be exploited. Variant...

8 New Spectre-Class Vulnerabilities (Spectre-NG) Found in Intel CPUs
A team of security researchers has reportedly discovered a total of eight new "Spectre-class" vulnerabilities in Intel CPUs, which also affect at least a small number of ARM processors and may impact AMD processor architecture as well. Dubbed Spectre-Next Generation , or Spectre-NG , the partial...
Intel Processors Now Allows Antivirus to Use Built-in GPUs for Malware Scanning
Global chip-maker Intel on Tuesday announced two new technologies—Threat Detection Technology TDT and Security Essentials—that not only offer hardware-based built-in security features across Intel processors but also improve threat detection without compromising system performance. Intel's Threat...
Kernel: KVM: DoS via write flood to I/O port 0x80
Linux kernel Virtualization Module CONFIGKVM for the Intel processor family CONFIGKVMINTEL is vulnerable to a DoS issue. It could occur if a guest was to flood the I/O port 0x80 with write requests. A guest user could use this flaw to crash the host kernel resulting in DoS...
Denial of Service Vulnerability in Multiple Intel Products
Intel 5th generation Intel Core Processors are different series of CPU Central Processing Unit products of Intel Corporation. A security vulnerability exists in the SPI Flash configuration in the platform on multiple Intel products. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a...
Intel Admits It Won't Be Possible to Fix Spectre (V2) Flaw in Some Processors
As speculated by the researcher who disclosed Meltdown and Spectre flaws in Intel processors, some of the Intel processors will not receive patches for the Spectre variant 2 side-channel analysis attack In a recent microcode revision guidance PDF, Intel admits that it would not be possible to...
Another Branch Prediction Attack
When Spectre and Meltdown were first announced earlier this year, pretty much everyone predicted that there would be many more attacks targeting branch prediction in microprocessors. Here's another one: In the new attack, an attacker primes the PHT and running branch instructions so that the PHT...

Intel AMT Loophole Allows Hackers to Gain Control of Some PCs in Under a Minute
Researchers have found a loophole in Intel processors that allow an attacker to bypass logins and place backdoors on laptops, allowing adversaries remote access to laptops. Researchers at F-Secure, that first identified the attack strategy, say the loophole can be exploited in less than one minut...
Debian DSA-4082-1 : linux - security update (Meltdown)
Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leaks. - CVE-2017-5754 Multiple researchers have discovered a vulnerability in Intel processors, enabling an attacker controlling an unprivileged process to...
The vulnerability of Intel and ARM processors is caused by a memory access control error during speculative execution of processor instructions, allowing attackers to disclose protected information.
The vulnerabilities of Intel and ARM processors stem from errors in memory access control during speculative execution of processor instructions. Exploiting these vulnerabilities allows attackers to gain access to protected memory from a program that does not have the necessary privileges. This i...
