Overview of vulnerabilities on Intel, AMD, ARM chips: Meltdown and Specter
Two newly discovered major computer chip security bugs, called Meltdown and Specter, affect most of the devices manufactured in the last 20 years. The level of influence of these two security bugs on devices is still being calculated, but it can lead to the server on the cloud computing platform being compromised, leading to bad effects. than.
Meltdown is a security flaw that only happens with Intel devices, companies are quickly creating patches to fix bugs, and this patch may slow down the device.
Specter is more dangerous, when it affects CPUs of both AMD and Intel, even ARM chips on mobile devices. This is a much more serious problem because software patches cannot solve the problem completely, but may have to redesign the chip completely to fix bugs for future hardware generations.
This is all you need to know about these two serious security holes.
Note: Currently you should not install the patch for these two vulnerabilities, because there are still a lot of errors, keep calm and wait.
