Intel CPUs impacted by new Zombieload side-channel attack

By exploiting normal speculative execution operations that work within these microarchitectural structures, an MDS attack can infer data that is being processed in the CPU by other apps, to which an attacker shouldn’t normally have access to. Furthermore, newer processors aren’t impacted, as they already include protections against speculative execution attacks –such as the MDS attacks– since last year when Meltdown and Spectre first hit, and Intel modified the way its CPU’s worked.
