Intel, AMD, and Arm are three main processor manufacturers that almost all over the world computers use them. Thus, even a small vulnerability can affect the information security of thousands of people.

German publication Heise reported that there are eight new “CVE-listed vulnerability reports describing side-channel attack flaws in Chipzilla’s processors.” For the new types of the attacks, the attackers can extract passwords and other secrets from memory by using the marewares in the PC, and they have many kinds of new variations, which makes the issues become difficult for the Researchers and developers.

Thus, the users should not only wait for the new version of the patch. We should also be careful to identify phishing websites and malware.
