Top U.S. chipmaker Intel Corp. on Tuesday confirmed that three more severe security flaws were found in some of its microprocessors that could pose potential risks of illegal data access from computer memory.
美国芯片制造商英特尔周二证实，某些微处理器上发现三个严重的安全漏洞，可导致对电脑内存非法数据访问的潜在风险。
Intel said in a technical statement that the security holes in its chips could allow malware and malicious applications to steal sensitive data such as passwords and encryption key from computer memory.
"Today, Intel and our industry partners are sharing more details and mitigation information about a recently identified speculative execution side-channel method called L1 Terminal Fault (L1TF)," Intel said.
It said the security vulnerabilities were found and reported by researchers in Katholieke Universiteit Leuven of Belgium, Israel Institute of Technology, U.S. University of Michigan and the University of Adelaide in South Australia.
"We are not aware of reports that any of these methods have been used in real-world exploits, but this further underscores the need for everyone to adhere to security best practices," said the company.
