Scientists Discover New ‘Indirect’ Vulnerability in Intel CPU Chips

In a recent study conducted by security researchers, a new side-channel attack was discovered that can potentially compromise the security of modern Intel CPU variants, including Raptor Lake and Alder Lake. The attack, referred to as Indirector, takes advantage of vulnerabilities in the indirect branch predictor (IBP) and branch target buffer (BTB) to bypass existing … Read more

Intel CPU Vulnerability: Indirect Injection Attack Resulting in Exposed Sensitive Data

Security researchers at the University of California have discovered a new high-precision attack called “Indirector” that targets vulnerabilities in the Indirect Branch Predictor (IBP) and Branch Target Buffer (BTB) of high-end Intel CPUs like Raptor Lake and Alder Lake. This attack bypasses current defenses and compromises CPU security by exploiting weaknesses in these components. The … Read more
