One bug was fixed, the FPU one. There are SEVEN other bugs under embargo at the moment.

Christopher Watson
all thanks to you frogposter
Levi Cox
what nonsense, intel never fixes anything and continues selling flawed chips. It'll soon be 2 years of this shit and they still make new chips with same vulnerabilities and nobody even sued them.
Tyler Moore
Just how fucked is hummanity because of Intel? Will we ever recover and get Intel-free software that doesn't give shit about their jewish tricks and actually perform good on amd?
>There are SEVEN other bugs under embargo at the moment First I've heard of this- do you have any credible sources for this rumour?
Jordan Collins
>the intel hardware exploit level train has no stops fuck yeah gimme some more of those overpriced defective cpus (and a water chiller to cool it down)
Gabriel Williams
Wew, another one already? In my mind, my Pentium G4560 is gradually looking more like pic related every time more vulnerabilities are announced. I really need to upgrade it to Ryzen.
and some of the autistic cocbsd fuckers continue to make fun of him. he is doing the world a favor, now issue an apology like one of the autisic retards from the bsd conf the other day did marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=152883510311011&w=2 or stfu

The original source was a reputed German IT journal (Heise). They said there were 8 Spectre-like vulnerabilities in Intel CPUs currently under embargo. People were not sure whether that was true. But a few days ago OpenBSD revealed that there is indeed at least one vulnerability. It's not a stretch to think that there are indeed 7 of them. In fact, Theo predicted *TEN YEARS AGO* that there would be many vulnerabilities.
I wouldn't be surprised if there were in fact even more vulnerabilities to discover. It's likely that governments agencies, cyber-criminals, etc. are currently researching this.
It's so bad that OpenBSD is going to simply flush everything by default on Intel CPUs, and only revert the stuff when they confirm that there is no vulnerability.
This is a scandal equivalent to the emissions test cheating software in European cars. Intel has basically been cheating with performance, by doing optimizations that completely break security down (doing speculative execution past isolation boundaries).

>This affects FPU context switching, which now needs to be completely cleared because of state leaking!!
Lol which is completely a software issue, Enjoy your booner cores! slow and steady wins the race!
Anthony Hill
>pretending over half the shit released doesnt affect amd
Samuel Peterson
Yeah security researchers don't exist/don't do any work. Every CVE you see is a result from a company internal discovery and consequently disclosure/leaks.
Nathan Garcia
>software issue >lazy FPU context switching How?
Nathaniel Foster
Only way that water chiller will make a difference is if you pour it under the IHS.
Josiah Jenkins
I've bought AMD since the 1990s. My first CPU was an AM386. Intel has always felt wrong.

God smite these wicked semites AMD rise from the ashes
not a problem in linux as it uses eager fpu since 2016 I'm on amd--not a shill.
Wyatt Evans
Biggest vulnerabilities affecting AMD CPUs are ones made up by an Intel funded Israel based cyber security firm that only offers 24hrs for a right of reply before publishing their "findings".
Brayden Cox
Freebsd is full of unstable people it seems. Their main promoter and hero "Freebsd girl" is a good example of this.
Ethan Mitchell
Theo actually confirms in his talk that AMD's architecture around cashing is vastly superior and almost goes so far as to say Intel are amateurs in comparison.
Joshua Reyes
It's clear that Intel has been cutting corners on well known best practices. Either this is utter incompetence lettering marketing dictate engineering, or utter malice letting spooks dictate it.
Noah Watson
Yes.
Isaiah Wood
Because it doesn't.
Nathan Young
>fell for indel meme >spectre and meltdown reveiled >Fuggg, but it's not that bad rrr-ight? >now this shit happens
Never make the same mistake.
Btw what's stopping any hi tech chink company from rolling out their own cheap x86 like processors? inb4 patent laws
Fugg. Imagine 50$ chink package that performs on par with 400$ x86-64 bs.
Brayden Garcia
I wanna see that video
Parker Hughes
>Btw what's stopping any hi tech chink company from rolling out their own cheap x86 like processors? Chinks can't into high-tech manufacturing. Compare their RAM chips to South Korean for example. They can steal and copy as much as they want, but at the end of the day they won't be able to manufacture the stuff properly.
The management engine is probably an intentional backdoor, but speculative execution bugs like Spectre and this FP issue are almost certainly just a result of prioritising speed and features over security concerns. It's fair to blame jewtel but it's also kind of the fault of consumers (especially the giant enterprise ones) for having that same mindset. Hopefully that's changing now that they're having to eat the costs of all these security disasters.
but has anyone actually been hacked by these spectre memes and others? i have not heard anything yet but everyone says that these are really bad things.. someone would have done it already if it was as easy as people say
Brandon Nguyen
heh
Jaxson Gonzalez
> Theo predicted *TEN YEARS AGO* that there would be many vulnerabilities. Plz gib sauce. Need new copypasta.
Factually incorrect. Enjoy the vulnerabilities Intel shill.
Juan Nelson
>>This affects FPU context switching, which now needs to be completely cleared because of state leaking!! >Lol which is completely a software issue, Enjoy your booner cores! slow and steady wins the race! Why doesn't this affect AMD then hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?
Those specific implementations probably won't work anymore due to various mitigations that have been introduced, but the bug is fundamentally still there and can be exposed again by a sufficiently creative approach.
>These processors are buggy as hell, and some of these bugs don't just cause development/debugging problems, but will *ASSUREDLY* be exploitable from userland code.
>As I said before, hiding in this list are 20-30 bugs that cannot be worked around by operating systems, and will be potentially exploitable. I would bet a lot of money that at least 2-3 of them are.
>the fix Increases performance >only affects virtual hosts wew it's fucking nothing you guys can go back to shilling AMD and falseflagging as Intel shills in other threads now
I didn't understand that. What was he even shouting about? Why was he so upset about FreeBSD being under embargo?
Jonathan Allen
Apparently he's under the embargo jurisdiction, though he isn't formally in the foundation staff or some shit like that.
James Jones
for a long-time industry follower, these are already established facts, the only ones that need citation for any of these are relative newcomers to The Game
and yes, you just lost
Grayson Davis
Gee thanks intel.
Gabriel Collins
fuck man
Landon Hughes
>it's ok goy just compile your code using icl for better performance
Theo called them out for being corporate whores by signing NDAs with Intel. Some FreeBSD guy tried to pretend that the FreeBSD Foundation is distinct from the FreeBSD Project. Theo replied "whatever, don't know/don't care about the details of that arrangement".
That's when the autist, later identified as a member of the FreeBSD coc(k) committee, sperged out.
Eli Wright
Holy fuck Intel sucks!
Colton Clark
Was the $10 giftcard and the coasters really the only reason these advice were supposed to be followed?
Carter Clark
everyone who knows anything about a computer, knows the core of it is the chipset, not the fucking cpu. intel shilling on dumb fags as usual
