Security flaw detected in Intel processors

London: Computer scientists at Belgium’s leading higher education and research university KU Leuven have once again exposed a security flaw in Intel processors that could allow an attacker to acquire sensitive information, such as the victim’s fingerprints or passwords. In the past couple of years, Intel had had to issue quite a few patches for vulnerabilities that computer scientists at KU Leuven have helped expose.

“All measures that Intel has taken so far to boost the security of its processors have been necessary, but they were not enough to ward off our new attack,” said Jo Van Bulck from the Department of Computer Science at KU Leuven. (IANS)
