Intel has paid out a $100,000 bug bounty for new processor vulnerabilities that are related to Spectre variant one (CVE-2017-5753).
The new Spectre-class variants are tracked as Spectre 1.1 (CVE-2018-3693) and Spectre 1.2, of which Spectre 1.1 describ… Continue reading Two New Spectre-Class CPU Flaws Discovered—Intel Pays $100K Bounty
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 c… Continue reading New Spectre (Variant 4) CPU Flaw Discovered—Intel, ARM, AMD Affected
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-… Continue reading 8 New Spectre-Class Vulnerabilities (Spectre-NG) Found in Intel CPUs
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),… Continue reading Intel Admits It Won’t Be Possible to Fix Spectre (V2) Flaw in Some Processors
After leaving million of devices at risk of hacking and then rolling out broken patches, Intel has now released a new batch of security patches only for its Skylake processors to address one of the Spectre vulnerabilities (Variant 2).
For those unawar… Continue reading Intel Releases New Spectre Patch Update for Skylake Processors
