ÆPIC and SQUIP Vulnerabilities Found in Intel and AMD Processors

A group of researchers has revealed details of a new vulnerability affecting Intel CPUs that enables attackers to obtain encryption keys and other secret information from the processors.
Dubbed ÆPIC Leak, the weakness is the first-of-its-kind to architecturally disclose sensitive data in a manner that’s akin to an “uninitialized memory read in the CPU itself.”
“In contrast to transient execution
