"Intel CPUs Afflicted with Fresh Speculative Execution Flaws"

Researchers have discovered a new set of speculative execution vulnerabilities in Intel processors, called  L1 Terminal Fault (L1TF) flaws. The three new vulnerabilities affect Intel's Software Guard Extensions (SGX) technology, System Management Mode (SMM), and more. Through the exploitation of these vulnerabilities, hackers could gain access to sensitive data stored in memory. This article continues to discuss the origin, severity, exploitation, and mitigation of the latest speculative execution design flaws found in Intel CPUs.
