[cpforum]

Information is now published, documentation available, patch for Linux, Windows, Xen, VMWare, etc. are available.

AMD and ARM hardware are also affected. Others ?

 

A local unprivileged access seems to be a condition to try an attack breading predictive cache of the processor to get information of others process seems to be non trivial.
