Quelltext der Seite GPN18:Meltdown and Spectre for normal people


Ein Vortrag von Jens Neuhalfen auf der [[GPN18]].

Meltdown and Spectre are security flaws that gained widespread media coverage in the first days of 2018. Contrary to other security bugs these flaws are

* hardware, not software based
* the direct consequence of years of performance improvements
* extremely widespread because they affect (nearly all) computer systems, including mobile phones
* difficult to patch

This talk fills the gap between  _"Intel caused a terrible security bug. Everybody panic!"_  and _"By priming the BPU of the CPU a malicious process can read out of bounds memory via speculative code execution"_.

*This talk comes with a side order on "Understanding CPU architecture" and "Managing security vulnerabilities".*
