MIT researchers have identified a systemic timing vulnerability in Intel and AMD processors that bypasses modern security defenses like saferet. By exploiting the fleeting window between when a chip's prediction machinery is cleared and when it is used, attackers can reliably inject code to extract sensitive data such as Linux password files. This discovery underscores a critical weakness in current hardware security architectures where interrupt mechanisms can be weaponized to contaminate processor predictions across multiple generations of chips.
