"Intel CPUs Impacted by New Zombieload Side-Channel Attack"

A team of researchers have recently disclosed a new side-channel attack, called Zombieload. This attack is of the same category as Meltdown, Spectre, and Foreshadow in that it also abuses the speculative execution capabilities of modern CPUs to gain access to sensitive data. Zombieload exploits the speculative execution capabilities of CPUs' microarchitectural data structures, used to increase the speed at which data is read or written, in order to make assumptions about the data that is being processed in the CPU by other applications. This article continues to discuss Zombieload and other Microarchitectural Data Sampling (MDS) attacks discovered by researchers.
