Though if it were going to be fixed in microcode, it seems like this would have played out by Intel just having released new microcode already and encouraged people to update to it, rather than every OS vendor scrambling to rewrite large chunks of their memory management, you know?
- rurban 9y agoYes, but they might have focused more on Windows, which is not so easy to fix. Esp in microcode. The NT kernel fixes were already out for months, there the table layout is not as simple as in Linux, whilst Linux is still discussing it. For Linux microcode you just need to look at the first bit for a permission check. Not so with Windows.
