User space processes could potentially read kernel space memory.
Patches are incoming but they come with upto 30% performance hit, woops.
Good job Intel's CEO sold all them shares at the end of November ____________________ "The guy is a worthless cunt and I honestly believe I would be a slightly happier person if he died." - Chris-Red |

You can tell how bad a vulnerability is by the sperg rage of the Lunix hippies. This one is a full on table-headbutting thrashfest. I smell a class action suit in the making. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

I have just had a good giggle reading comments from some oicks who are very smug that they have AMD chips rather than Intel. I wonder where they think their AMD chips came from in the first place? ____________________ Make mine a Corona. |

I'll fire up the ol' Spectrum then.
Big question is: update or no-update? Is the cure worse than the condition for Joe Homeuser? ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Is it time to panic and start eating people yet? Apparently Intel came out with the news, knowing patches weren't ready, because leaked info' was affecting their share price
From what I can gather an update for the Intel 'Meltdown' flaw was released yesterday for Win' 10, Win' 7 & 8 will be updated on the 9th. Firefox and Edge have already been patched, Google are waiting until they release Chrome 64 on the 23rd Coincidentally I installed Firefox 2 days to debug something, I'll probably stick with it for now
The 'Spectre' flaw which includes AMD/Atom we'll just have to live with... so take a hammer to any computers, phones, tablets now! |

Why would it be necessary to patch specific applications? This is an issue with kernel memory management. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Apparently (I is regurgitating stuff I don't really understand (if you couldn't tell)) there's a javascript exploit already out in the wild. I also read something about BIOS updates being planned |

BIOS is on its way out. UEFI is the new standard and there will be no BIOS in Intel chipsets past 2020. At least that's what they claimed before all this happened. So, enjoy MS:DOS while you can, as that thing needs BIOS to run, or virtualization, or just keep an older board.
Oh, and just to keep the theme here, UEFI is also a scary thing IF exploited right. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

Apple are included in this as well, I expected so on the Mac side (as they use Intel processors) but wasn't sure about mobile devices.
What annoys me about Apple is they apply fixes to their latest software update and say job done. Yeah brilliant for people on older software or those running a terminal ver. of iOS. |

Some good news for gamers (for now at least): https://youtu.be/_qZksorJAuY
TL; DR:
1) Microsoft already released the patch
2) The only pefromance hit so far is in the sequential Read and Write
3) Gaming performance not affected
4) Average consumer won't notice a thing; Data centers won't be happy
5) We still expect the microcode update from Intel (which could make things worse) ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ
