Security researchers have discovered a new chip-level vulnerability, dubbed NetCAT, affecting Intel's server-grade microprocessors, which could enable attackers to sniff potentially sensitive data ...

A weakness named NetCAT (Network Cache ATtack) affects all Intel server-grade processors since 2012 and allows sniffing sensitive details by mounting a side-channel attack over the network.

Named NetCAT, this is a vulnerability in all Intel chips that support the Data-Direct I/O Technology (Intel DDIO) and Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) features. When these two features are enabled, ...

Researchers have found yet another CPU feature that can be abused to leak potentially sensitive data, but this time with a twist: The attacker doesn’t need to have local access on the targeted machine ...
