Intel’s CPUs Can be Attacked, Kris Kaspersky Plans to Demonstrate How?

InfoWorld has reported that Kris Kaspersky, security researcher and author, plans to demonstrate how an attacker can target flaws in Intel’s microprocessors to remotely attack a computer using JavaScript or TCP/IP packets, regardless of what operating system the computer is running. Kaspersky said, "I'm going to show real working code...and make it publicly available,” Guys, I am not sure if demonstrating this to public is the correct way.

 

“Kaspersky will demonstrate how such an attack can be made in a presentation at the upcoming Hack in the Box (HITB) Security Conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, during October. The proof-of-concept attacks will show how processor bugs, called errata, can be exploited using certain instruction sequences and a knowledge of how Java compilers work, allowing an attacker to take control of the compiler.” – InfoWorld.
