Intel discloses new L1 Terminal Fault vulnerability
- bnjmn 8y agoAnother speculative execution side-channel cache timing vulnerability, a la https://meltdownattack.com https://meltdownattack.com Related disclosure from DigitalOcean: https://blog.digitalocean.com/a-message-about-l1tf/ https://blog.digitalocean.com/a-message-about-l1tf/ Intel is evasive about the precise attack scenario, but DigitalOcean reports "an attacker could theoretically use one Droplet to view another Droplet’s memory," implying that the side-channel is invasive (that is, theft of data is possible) rather than cooperative (that is, data can be intentionally leaked between processes, a less harmful sort of side-channel).
