Collaborate Disseminate
Security researchers have uncovered a new way to exploit the speculative execution feature of Intel CPUs to bypass memory security barriers and leak protected information. The vulnerability, known as Foreshadow or L1 Terminal Fault (L1TF), has three v… Continue reading New Foreshadow Vulnerabilities Defeat Memory Defenses on Intel CPUs
Intel processors are vulnerable to one or more L1 data cache information disclosure and terminal fault attacks via a speculative execution side channel. These attacks are known as L1 Terminal Fault:SGX,L1 Terminal Fault:OS/SMM,and L1 Terminal Fault:VMM.

2018 has been quite a tough year for Intel.
While the chip-maker giant is still dealing with Meltdown and Spectre processor vulnerabilities, yet another major speculative execution flaw has been revealed in Intel’s Core and Xeon lines of processors th… Continue reading Foreshadow Attacks — 3 New Intel CPU Side-Channel Flaws Discovered
A team of security researchers has discovered a new Spectre attack that can be launched over the network, unlike all other Spectre variants that require some form of local code execution on the target system.
Dubbed “NetSpectre,” the new remote side-c… Continue reading NetSpectre — New Remote Spectre Attack Steals Data Over the Network
It’s no longer necessary to run attacker code on the victim system. Continue reading New Spectre attack enables secrets to be leaked over a network
At the beginning of this year, the Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities shined a spotlight on the security risks associated with the speculative execution feature of modern CPUs. Since then, researchers have kept digging and found new issues, the late… Continue reading CPU Speculative Execution Hits Again with 2 New Spectre Variants
Research is continuing to find new attack vectors. Continue reading New Spectre-like attack uses speculative execution to overflow buffers
As predicted by security researchers, the Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities announced this year were just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to security issues related to the speculative execution feature of modern CPUs. In coordination with oper… Continue reading Intel Faces Yet Another Speculative Execution Flaw in Its CPUs
Microsoft’s January and February patches for the Meltdown vulnerability introduced an even more dangerous flaw that left Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 systems vulnerable to complete compromise. The bug is somewhat ironic because it gives user-mod… Continue reading Meltdown Patches Left Windows 7, Server 2008 Systems Even More Vulnerable
