Intel chip bug? Or simply much more than you need to know? Researchers claim Intel has a serious chip bug. But that all depends.

\nAnd what systems are potentially vulnerable? Though both Intel and Rutkowska say the “attack” presented in the paper has been fixed on some systems, Rutkowska goes on to say: “We have however found out that even the relatively new boards, e.g. Intel DQ35 are still vulnerable (the very recent Intel DQ45 doesn't seem to be vulnerable though). The exploit attached is for DQ35 board–the offsets would have to be changed to work on other boards (please do not ask how to do this),” she writes.
