"Spectre Bugs Likely to 'Haunt Us for a Long Time' as Software Alone Can't Fix All of Them, Warn Google Researchers"
According to Google security researchers, the use of software defenses is not an adequate solution to fixing Spectre vulnerabilities. Spectre attacks abuse the speculative execution capabilities of modern CPUs. Findings of a new study conducted by Google security researchers call for the implementation of hardware-based separation. This article continues to discuss Spectre vulnerabilities, speculative execution, and findings of a study by Google researchers in relation to the exploitation of speculative-execution bugs.
