Personal note - minimal edition
I'm afraid this is another minimal edition. I'm still in caretaker mode for my wife and daughter, after my wife's fall a few weeks back, and on top of that we're having major house renovations done. Quite the double whammy :-) Sucks though, it was one hell of a juicy news week.
As usual in the minimal edition I've selected the articles and news that seemed most interesting, but with less curation and summarising than usual. I hope it still provides value to you. Cheers!
Intel ZombieLoad Side-Channel Attack: 10 takeaways
New Spectre-like speculative execution vulnerabilities were disclosed this week.
Linux Kernel prior to 5.0.8 vulnerable to remote code execution
Despite the headline, it's not a omg-we-all-gonna-die vulnerability, apparently it's hard to exploit. But important to patch either way, you don't want it to evolve into something worse. Although if it does I sure hope they up the severity from High to Critical to match the headlines :D
