Is there a definative list of CPU models that are affected by Spectre /
Meldown?
The most "detailed" explanation I can find is:
=============
"every processor since 1995 (except Intel Itanium and Intel Atom before
2013)" is affected by Meltdown"
==============
I'd like to see a complete breakdown of the status of all Intel CPU's,
going back to at least the SLOT-1 products and including socket 370,
socket 478 and socket 775.
Also, what is status of Zeon CPU's, specifically socket 775-compatible ones?
Other questions:
These exploits don't seem to be able to take control of systems, alter
protected or system memory or proccesses (or even user-space memory or
files?), plant or install back doors or other forms of persistent
access. Yes?
These exploits make it possible for specifically-crafted code to be able
to read system memory (ie - memory / data that they wouldn't normally
have access to) but not necessarily be able to alter or corrupt said
memory? Yes?
Other than executing a binary delivered via email, is it possible to
deliver a workable Spectre / Meltdown exploit in the form of a script
written in any of the various web/browser compatible formats (JS, Java,
html, etc)?
