"GhostRace Detailed - Speculative Race Conditions Affecting All Major CPUs / ISAs"

VUSec, the Systems and Network Security Group at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, and IBM Research Europe have announced Speculative Race Conditions (SRCs) as a new class of vulnerabilities in which thread synchronization primitives using conditional branches can be microarchitecturally evaded on speculative paths via a Spectre-V1 attack. According to researchers, the new SRC attack, dubbed "GhostRace," affects all major CPU vendors. This article continues to discuss the new type of data leakage attack affecting all major CPUs.
