Quote:A team of nine academics has revealed today seven new CPU attacks. The seven impact AMD, ARM, and Intel CPUs to various degrees.

In their research paper, entitled "A Systematic Evaluation of Transient Execution Attacks and Defenses," the research team proposes their own set of defenses, that they argue could stop the attacks they've detailed.

The research paper published today is the result of months of research. Among its authors are the academics who discovered the original Meltdown and Spectre attacks, and some of their variations. Today's findings aren't particularly new, at least for the security community. The research team has previously stated many times on Twitter that countless of Meltdown and Spectre variation attacks are waiting to be discovered.
