The attack can be run remotely on a target device without running code on the system. Researchers have discovered a new variant of Spectre, a set of processor vulnerabilities dating back two decades, which they now say can remotely steal data from vulnerable systems. Previously, an attacker would have to run malicious code on an affected device to exploit Intel, AMD, and ARM processors by running malicious JavaScript on a user’s browser. But now, an attacker can pummel a target device with malicious network traffic without running any code on the system, say the paper’s authors.
