Spectre

It's, it's, and, and it's not really a glimmer of despair, it's a, a smack in the face with a despair pie.

Spectre version two is back again for every modern Intel processor going.

Oh, no.

Yeah.

They found a whole bunch of different ways to leverage the way that you're, you're either using garbage collection or, uh, memory massaging, memory management to find a stale branch predictor, which you can then get the address for and have fun with.

This is apparently roughly brand new.

Again, with a lot of Spectre stuff, it's not easy to take advantage of, but if you can find a way to leverage it, then it becomes a fricking nightmare.

So yes, once again, just in time, and, uh, branch prediction is a gift with, uh, a few problems attached to it.
