It has been published a "new" vulnerability on Intel processors, CVE-2022-40982, which allows a local attacker to read *any* zone of the computer's memory.
The computer can be a laptop or a cloud server. Think by yourselves the magnitude of this discovery.
[Q] Am I affected by this vulnerability?
[A] Most likely, yes. This depends on whether your computing devices (laptop, tablet, desktop, cloud, etc.) use the affected Intel processors. Even if you do not own any physical Intel-based devices, Intel’s server market share is more than 70%, so most likely, everyone on the internet is affected.
[Q] What can a hacker do with this?
[A] A hacker can target high-value credentials such as passwords and encryption keys. Recovering such credentials can lead to other attacks that violate the availability and integrity of computers in addition to confidentiality.
[Q] How long have users been exposed to this vulnerability?
[A] At least nine years. The affected processors have been around since 2014.
