“Meltdown-Spectre flaws: We’ve found new attack variants, say researchers”

In a new report from Nvidia and Princeton, researchers from both organizations have discovered new variants of Meltdown and Spectre, dubbed “MeltdownPrime” and SpectrePrime”. MeltdownPrime and SpectrePrime have a similar accuracy to their original counterparts, however, different hardware fixes will need to be produced to protect users from the two variants. This article further discusses how the two variants work in comparison to Meltdown and Spectre, and their impact on both users and chipmakers such as Intel.
