Intel CPU cores remain vulnerable to Spectre data-leaking attacks, say academics at VU Amsterdam. We're told mitigations put in place at the software and silicon level by the x86 giant to thwart Spectre-style exploitation of its processors' speculative execution can be bypassed, allowing malware or rogue users on a vulnerable machine to steal sensitive information – such as passwords and keys – out of kernel memory and other areas of RAM that should be off limits. The boffins say they have d...
