Once again, security researchers have discovered critical vulnerabilities in CPU chips that allow attackers to use a technique called speculative execution in order to get CPUs to leak sensitive information. The January 2018 disclosure of a previous set of such flaws, called Meltdown and Spectre, sent shock waves through the

An international team of security researchers has found a major flaw that affects Intel CPU chips.

Intel received the findings of the report in December of
