Intel CPU-level exploit could be tempest in a teapot Intel CPU-level exploit could be tempest in a teapot. On Thursday, Invisible Things Labs released details on a new, CPU-level exploit that could be used to execute software on a permission level far below that of any standard operating system. Is this a major problem for Intel, or an issue of merely academic interest? Quote:

Intel continues to work on resolving these security issues. Senior Intel spokesperson George Alfs told Ars, "We are working with these researchers. We take this research and all reports seriously. Currently as far as we know, there are no known exploits in the wild." Invisible Things notes that the company claims to have solved the problem in later chipsets, but that shipping DQ35 models are still affected.
