Title: New CPU architecture vulnerabilities: Intel 10th gen to 12th gen chips affected by AEPIC, SQUIP exploits loophole in all AMD Zen CPUs with SMT
Post by: Redaktion on August 16, 2022, 16:58:09
Researchers have independently discovered new security vulnerabilities affecting Intel and AMD processors. A non-side channel vulnerability named ÆPIC affects Intel 10th gen to 12th gen processors while a side-channel security issue called SQUIP affects all AMD Zen 1 to Zen 3 processors that rely on SMT. These vulnerabilities have not been exploited in the wild so far, but both CPU makers have suggested appropriate mitigation measures.

Update: I'm still not sure what this all means. Doesn't look good though.
