There is a new vulnerability for Intel CPUs which could be used by attackers to get your information.
Unluckily, it is not just Intel CPUs that are affected by the SWAPGS attack vulnerability.
for mitigate this vulnerability, companies whose products are affected by SWAPGS attack release updates.
Windows computer that is running on 64-bit Intel and AMD processors may be attacked by a security vulnerability.
Read this post on theMiniToolwebsite to get more details.
What is SWAPGS Attack?
The SWAPGS instruction is an under-documented instruction that toggles between user-owned memory and kernel memory.
Botezatu added that all Intel CPUs which are produced from 2012 until now are vulnerable to SWAPGS attacks.
However, it seems that Intel CPUs are not the only ones affected by the SWAPGS attack vulnerability.
All AMD products are not speculating on the new GS value which follows a speculative SWAPGS.
They are trying to develop and test an effective patch.
In July, Microsoft released a security update that automatically protects customers who enable and apply Windows Update.
As soon as Microsoft discovers the problem, it moves quickly to fix it and releases an update.
This kernel patch is based on the existing Spectre mitigation solution in previous updates.
