THE MELTDOWN NEAR ME CODE
This poisoned code could then read any and all data in memory. The bad news is they could still be exploited by an ordinary user on a vulnerable computer running JavaScript code from what appeared to be an innocuous web page. The good news is that these require an attacker to have local access to the targeted system. This issue is corrected with microcode, along with kernel and virtualization updates to both guest and host virtualization software. This attack allows for a virtualized guest to read memory from the host system.
There are three unique attack paths that could allow an attacker to execute a side-channel attack to bypass protections to read memory.
THE MELTDOWN NEAR ME WINDOWS
While we don't know yet how badly macOS and Windows will be affected, Michael Larabel, a Linux performance expert and founder of the Linux Phoronix website, has ran benchmarks on Linux 4.15-rc6, a Linux 4.15 release candidate, which includes Kernel Page Table Isolation (KPTI) for Intel's Meltdown flaw.īe that as it may, all three attacks have the potential to allow unauthorized read access to memory. The result has been fixes that degrade system performance in many instances. This forced Apple, the Linux developers, and Microsoft to scramble to deliver patches to fundamental CPU security problems. In addition, word began to leak out about the patches for these problems. But neither Google nor Intel bothered to tell the operating system vendors until months later. He told me that Google Project Zero informed Intel about the security problems in April. A Linux security expert is irked at both Google and Intel. He's not the only one unhappy with Intel. Or is Intel basically saying 'we are committed to selling you shit forever and ever, and never fixing anything?' Because if that's the case, maybe we should start looking towards the ARM64 people more.
