"Systems using Intel® Core-based microprocessors may potentially allow a local process to infer data [...] from another process through a speculative execution side channel."

oh COME ON Intel not again

Also in case you were wondering: Intel's latest CPU sadness leaks the contents of your SSE/AVX/MMX registers. This is hilariously bad because SSE registers are often used to store AES encryption keys.

It's currently not known if it's possible to exploit this remotely (eg through a web browser).
