Researchers bypass Intel’s Spectre fixes — six years of CPUs at risk

Six years after Intel made architectural changes to its CPUs to mitigate speculative execution vulnerabilities, researchers have developed a new technique that can bypass some of those mitigations. Called Branch Privilege Injection (BPI), the new attack method was developed by researchers from the ETH Zurich university in Switzerland and can leak information from privileged memory…
