0:14
it seems like the tech world has only just gotten a handle on spectre the
0:18
speculative execution vulnerability identified in a slew of processors that
0:22
has apparently been sitting unpatched for 20 years now another similar exploit
0:28
in Intel processors has been identified by computer scientists in massachusetts
0:31
and germany called spoiler oh it's it's just called spoiler i see
0:36
like spectre spoiler could be used to gain access to critical data that
0:40
wouldn't otherwise be accessible but it's based on Intel's particular memory
0:44
system design so it can be used to compromise AMD or ARM chips it also
0:49
cannot be protected against using existing hardware and software
0:52
mitigations for spectre the researchers say that addressing the flaw requires a
0:56
significant redesign at the silicon level
1:00
Intel however responded by essentially brushing off the news their spokesperson
1:04
said that software developers can easily build in protection from spoiler attacks
1:08
and that modern RAM modules should already be protected are they right will
1:12
hackers exploit the flaw just to prove them wrong tune in on april 14th to find
1:17
