content: Intel left a fascinating security flaw in its chips for 16 years – here's how to exploit it  Oh, lovely.  The good news is that Intel spotted the howler in its processor blueprints, and corrected the issue: chips built from January 2011 and onwards (Sandy Bridge Core CPUs and later) are not affected. Also, operating systems can mitigate against the security hole at the hypervisor level, thus protecting themselves from miscreants exploiting the design flaw, according to infosec boffin Jacob Torrey.  but what vulnerability are we going to find out was in these years from now? Ahh, I need a drink.
