"Latest Intel CPUs Impacted by New Indirector Side-Channel Attack"

Researchers at the University of California, San Diego found that modern Intel processors, including chips from the Raptor Lake and Alder Lake generations, are vulnerable to a new high-precision Branch Target Injection (BTI) attack called "Indirector." The attack could be used to steal information from CPUs. Vulnerabilities in the Indirect Branch Predictor (IBP) and Branch Target Buffer (BTB), two hardware components in modern Intel CPUs, could be exploited by the Indirector attack to manipulate speculative execution for data extraction. This article continues to discuss findings regarding the Indirector side-channel attack.
