=== Spectre === |
|||
Spectre is an exploit that affects most modern CPUs made after 1995 that implement out-of-order execution (x86, x86_64, ARM, AMD, and potentially more) and allows the reading of physical memory by userland code. There is no sensible software fix for this issue. For more details, see (https://spectreattack.com/spectre.pdf this paper). |
