An exploit was released for a flaw existing in a process in CPUs called Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT). Continue reading PortSmash Side-Channel Attack Siphons Data From Intel, Other CPUs
Researchers have developed an exploit that uses a feature in Intel chips to steal secret cryptographic keys. Continue reading PortSmash attack steals secrets from Intel chips on the side
A team of security researchers has discovered another serious side-channel vulnerability in Intel CPUs that could allow an attacker to sniff out sensitive protected data, like passwords and cryptographic keys, from other processes running in the same C… Continue reading New Intel CPU Flaw Exploits Hyper-Threading to Steal Encrypted Data
Security-oriented BSD operating system OpenBSD has decided to disable support for Intel’s hyper-threading performance-boosting feature, citing security concerns over Spectre-style timing attacks.
Introduced in 2002, Hyper-threading is Intel’s implemen… Continue reading OpenBSD Disables Intel Hyper-Threading to Prevent Spectre-Class Attacks
