BREAKING THE APPLE M3 CPU VIA FALSE LOAD OUTPUT PREDICTIONS

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Researchers at Georgia Tech have discovered SLAP and FLOP attacks that exploit microarchitecture features in Apple CPUs to read sensitive data from webpages. These attacks involve predicting memory access patterns and tricking the CPU into operating on incorrect data values. SLAP and FLOP will be presented at upcoming security conferences to showcase the potential risks posed by these exploits.
