AMD and Intel chips are at risk from another major vulnerability



Microprocessors from both Intel and AMD are carrying a security vulnerability not unlike the Spectre/Meltdown flaws that rocked the entire computer industry a few years ago, researchers are saying. 

Two researchers from ETH Zurich, one doctoral student Johannes Wikner, and one professor for computer security, Kaveh Razavi, said that the discovered flaw allows abusers access to kernel memory, and given the nature of the flaw, fixing it also means slowing the chips down.
