These logos make no damn sense. And look generally fuddy.
Intel based
Solaris based
First mention of the URL i can find anywhere so far:
Some further observations:
Domain registered only 8 days after meltdownattack.com yet is “based on the work highlighted by Meltdown and Spectre”. Doesn’t seems like enough time to have come up with something significant enough to give a name to.
Goes out of its way to copy the font used by meltdownattack.com and advertises itself with the names of meltdown and spectre, and their CVE IDs without listing its own. If what they say is true and followed responsible disclosure it should have its own CVE IDs reserved by now.
Unlike meltdown: Where are the mysterious OS patches talked about about if it’s going to be announced when “operating system vendors have prepared patches.”
If it’s actually important enough to be under “embargo”, why are they even hinting details on a public website about it. This is the most insane aspect.
The skyfall icon with it’s alpha color blank space…
What I take from this, is that management is pushing some bullshit agenda and engineers try their best to work arround that. The resulting clusterfuck is then pushed to everyone.
Red Hat is no longer providing microcode to address Spectre, variant 2, due to instabilities introduced that are causing customer systems to not boot. The latest microcode_ctl and linux-firmware packages are reverting these unstable microprocessor firmware changes
hello i dont know much about the software end of operating systems(when i say not much i mean i could not differantiate between the zodiac code and computer language) or how they procees different tasks but i have been reading up on Meltdown and Spectre lately to stay in the loop. As far as i understand it is a proccess that attacts the dumped processes a cpu has done because it thought it needed them but when it is done with them dumps them into the cache as unnecessary which these two attacks target.
My question is whether it is necessery for it to dump them into cache instead of overwriting them with the next process or deleting them instead, and what would the downside of not predicting the processes would be ?
this seemed like the most appropriate topic to ask this question however if this is not the case feel free to ignore or remove this post but i would appreciate it if you pointed me in the right direction as to where i can discuss this.
