Intel Is Patching the Patch for the Patch for Its ‘Zombieload’ Flaw

"Just as troubling, argues Vrije Universiteit's Giuffrida, is the fact that Intel doesn't seem to be taking proactive steps to find new vulnerabilities or variants of existing ones on its own. "If Intel isn’t looking and is making no effort," Giuffrida asks, "who knows how many vulnerabilities are left?"


Intel's made two attempts to fix the microprocessor vulnerability it was warned about 18 months ago. Third time’s the charm?

Intel: We're patching the patch to the patch
Abobe: That makes 1 more Vulnerability for them than we have! CORPORATE PARTY-TIME!
Oracle: Hey Adobe...can we get in on that if we bring coctail weenies?

It's going to be non-stop whack a mole since they can't fix the original spectre vulnerability, supposedly the 10th gen series has a fix in hardware? Either way this won't stop until they end of life all of their processors
