Can't you just compile your own code without the mitigations inside the vm?
- mort96 9y agoYes, but then you'd just end up with having a vulnerable application running inside of the VM. The mitigations in the compilers are for making programs compiled by those compilers immune(ish?) to Spectre, not to make it impossible for those programs to use Spectre to attack other processes.
- noselasd 9y agoYou can, but spectre only affects your own process, and if you can compile/run your program, it's unlikely that exploiting anything to read the memory of your own process is any danger.
