Can't wait to see what 2017's f00f bug equivalent is after its released. Maybe I should just run his tunneling programs and not wait for the disclosure.
I don't know much about CPU internals, but would it actually be possible to 'patch' that through updated microcode?
It's such a clever program, will be intrigued to see what else it can find!
If this just searches the space looking for packets that shouldn't decode but end up getting executed, then it's unlikely to be anywhere as interesting as f00f.
In all likelihood we have already seen 2017's big silicon bug and it was AMD's Ryzen 7 1800X issue.
