ZombieLoad: Leaking Data on Intel CPUs
summary
Explains ZombieLoad, a vulnerability in Intel CPUs that lets attackers leak data via transient execution following faulting loads. Describes how lazy fault handling and microarchitectural side effects enable the leak, and demonstrates practical data exfiltration across security boundaries on affected Intel processors.
