The news about a security flaw in Intel chips was released yesterday. The vacuum in security could leave vulnerable millions of computers, but it could be a defect that affects other companies other than Intel.
Originally detected by Sign up, as a kernel vulnerability leaves computers with Intel processors vulnerable to hackers. Although there is a first impression of the vulnerability and a first patch, the website Sign up states that this particular patch could slow down computers by 30%.
The flaw may allow malicious programs να διαβάζουν πληροφορίες σύνδεσης και κωδικούς πρόσβασης από “ασφαλή μέρη” της μνήμης του υπολογιστή. Όμως όπως φαίνεται, μπορεί να μην επηρεάζει μόνο τα εκατομμύρια computers of the Intel company.
A statement from Intel said the vulnerability is not unique to the company's chips. Of course, Intel implies that other chipmakers like AMD and ARM are also affected by the vulnerability, which means many more computers and smartphones.
AMD on the other hand claimed that for the Axios processor there is "almost zero risk" for this vulnerability, according to TNW.
Intel also said it is working on a solution that will not slow down computers, according to Microsoft Reuters. It seems that it takes a lot of work, as it is necessary to rebuild the basic functions of the company's processors.
Intel said it planned to reveal the defect next week.
Which of the following is true and which is false? Is the problem real? Is it just a war between companies? Who knows how to tell us for sure about the problem? Grab the egg and cut it… ..
The problem is real, updates are already out. Of course, the war between the companies is also valid…
Classic intel is trying to throw its own problem on other platforms to reduce the damage from bad publicity and of course well done by AMD and ARM who informed that they are not affected by the vulnerability.
Intel has been making potatoes since last year and with the spokesperson making even more mistakes that anger consumers of their products.
