It appears there is no end in sight to the hardware level security vulnerabilities in Intel processors, as well as to the endless ‘performance killing’ patches that resolve them.
Modern Intel CPUs have now been found vulnerable to a new attack that in… Continue reading LVI Attacks: New Intel CPU Vulnerability Puts Data Centers At Risk
All Intel processors released in the past 5 years contain an unpatchable vulnerability that could allow hackers to compromise almost every hardware-enabled security technology that are otherwise designed to shield sensitive data of users even when a sy… Continue reading This Unpatchable Flaw Affects All Intel CPUs Released in Last 5 Years
Another month, another speculative execution vulnerability found in Intel processors.
If your computer is running any modern Intel CPU built before October 2018, it’s likely vulnerable to a newly discovered hardware issue that could allow attackers to… Continue reading New ‘CacheOut’ Attack Leaks Data from Intel CPUs, VMs and SGX Enclave
A team of cybersecurity researchers demonstrated a novel yet another technique to hijack Intel SGX, a hardware-isolated trusted space on modern Intel CPUs that encrypts extremely sensitive data to shield it from attackers even when a system gets compro… Continue reading New PlunderVolt Attack Targets Intel SGX Enclaves by Tweaking CPU Voltage
Zombieload is back.
This time a new variant (v2) of the data-leaking side-channel vulnerability also affects the most recent Intel CPUs, including the latest Cascade Lake, which are otherwise resistant against attacks like Meltdown, Foreshadow and oth… Continue reading New ZombieLoad v2 Attack Affects Intel’s Latest Cascade Lake CPUs
A team of cybersecurity researchers today disclosed details of two new potentially serious CPU vulnerabilities that could allow attackers to retrieve cryptographic keys protected inside TPM chips manufactured by STMicroelectronics or firmware-based Int… Continue reading Researchers Discover TPM-Fail Vulnerabilities Affecting Billions of Devices
A new variant of the Spectre (Variant 1) side-channel vulnerability has been discovered that affects all modern Intel CPUs, and probably some AMD processors as well, which leverage speculative execution for high performance, Microsoft and Red Hat warne… Continue reading SWAPGS Attack — New Speculative Execution Flaw Affects All Modern Intel CPUs
Academic researchers today disclosed details of the newest class of speculative execution side-channel vulnerabilities in Intel processors that impacts all modern chips, including the chips used in Apple devices.
After the discovery of Spectre and Mel… Continue reading New Class of CPU Flaws Affect Almost Every Intel Processor Since 2011
Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a way to hide malicious code in Intel SGX enclaves, a hardware-based memory encryption feature in modern processors that isolates sensitive code and data to protect it from disclosure or modification.
In other… Continue reading Researchers Implant “Protected” Malware On Intel SGX Enclaves
Disclosed earlier this year, potentially dangerous Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities that affected a large family of modern processors proven that speculative execution attacks can be exploited in a trivial way to access highly sensitive information… Continue reading 7 New Meltdown and Spectre-type CPU Flaws Affect Intel, AMD, ARM CPUs
