Five years after the Spectre and Meltdown CPU attacks, researchers have discovered a new variant called Indirector that exploits low-level features of Intel CPUs to break security boundaries and leak protected data. This technique, developed by researchers at the University of California, San Diego, targets the indirect branch predictor (IBP) and branch target buffer (BTB) … Read more
A new high-precision branch target injection (BTI) attack called “Indirector” has been discovered by security researchers at the University of California, San Diego. This vulnerability affects modern Intel processors, including Raptor Lake and Alder Lake CPUs. The attack exploits vulnerabilities within the Indirect Branch Predictor (IBP) and the Branch Target Buffer (BTB) to hijack execution … Read more
According to recent reports, Intel has stated that no new mitigation measures are needed to protect against a vulnerability called Indirector affecting CPUs. This news comes as a relief to many who were concerned about potential security risks associated with this vulnerability. Intel’s announcement is a significant development in the ongoing battle to secure CPUs … Read more
Researchers from the University of California have introduced a new high-precision Branch Target Injection (BTI) attack called “Indirector” that targets vulnerabilities in the Indirect Branch Predictor (IBP) and Branch Target Buffer (BTB) of Intel CPUs, specifically those from the Raptor Lake and Alder Lake generations. The attack, named Indirector, was developed by security researchers Luyi … Read more
In recent news, security researchers have discovered a new vulnerability in modern Intel CPUs, including Raptor Lake and Alder Lake, that could allow attackers to leak sensitive information from the processors. The attack, known as “Director” and identified by researchers Luyi Li, Hosein Yavarzadeh, and Dean Tullsen, exploits weaknesses in the Indirect Branch Predictor (IBP) … Read more
Researchers at the University of California have uncovered a new security vulnerability in modern Intel processors, specifically targeting the Raptor Lake and Alder Lake generations. This vulnerability, known as “Indirector,” exploits the Indirect Branch Predictor (IBP) component to carry out precise branch target injection attacks, bypassing existing defenses and potentially compromising a large number of … Read more
A new high-precision Branch Target Injection (BTI) attack called ‘Indirector’ has been discovered by researchers at the University of California, San Diego. This attack targets flaws in the Indirect Branch Predictor (IBP) and Branch Target Buffer (BTB) found in modern Intel processors, specifically in the Raptor Lake and Alder Lake generations. Indirector manipulates speculative execution … Read more
