Fixing the Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities

Two days ago, Graz University of Technology published a paper describing a pair of attacks on common microprocessors. The underlying vulnerability affects Intel, AMD, and ARM processors. All contemporary microprocessors pre-execute instructions. In other words, the vulnerability bypasses address...

Vendors Share Patch Updates on Spectre and Meltdown Mitigation Efforts

Intel, Amazon, Microsoft and others are playing down concerns over the impact of the massive Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities affecting computers, servers and mobile devices worldwide. The two flaws, Spectre and Meltdown, are far reaching and impact a wide range of microprocessors used in the...

CVE-2017-5715

CVE-2017-5715 (Spectre Variant 2) describes speculative-execution side-channel issues used to disclose memory. Connected docs show concrete mitigations and impact across vendors: AMD notes that LFENCE/JMP mitigation (V2-2) may be insufficient on some CPUs; AMD recommends standard mitigations (ret...
