Spectre and Meltdown Checks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Following section displays the output of a running shell script to tell if system is vulnerable against the several "speculative execution" CVEs that were made public in 2018. Script is available on `Spectre & Meltdown Checker Github `_. - CVE-2017-5753 [bounds check bypass] aka 'Spectre Variant 1' - CVE-2017-5715 [branch target injection] aka 'Spectre Variant 2' - CVE-2017-5754 [rogue data cache load] aka 'Meltdown' aka 'Variant 3' - CVE-2018-3640 [rogue system register read] aka 'Variant 3a' - CVE-2018-3639 [speculative store bypass] aka 'Variant 4' - CVE-2018-3615 [L1 terminal fault] aka 'Foreshadow (SGX)' - CVE-2018-3620 [L1 terminal fault] aka 'Foreshadow-NG (OS)' -
