Security vulnerability on CPUs that use speculative execution
Spoiler is a security vulnerability on modern computer central processing units that use speculative execution. The vulnerability has been discovered by Saad Islam, a researcher from Vernam Lab at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), USA. It existed in all Intel Core processors starting from 1st generation since 2008 and remained undiscovered since then. Spoiler exploits side-effects of speculative execution to improve the efficiency of Rowhammer and other related memory and cache attacks. According to reports, all modern Intel Core CPUs are vulnerable to the attack as of 2019.
