ã€World Wide Web Reporter Wang Huan】 The British technology media “The Register†recently reported that Intel’s central processing unit (CPU) has a design flaw. The CPU is equivalent to the "brains" of all smartphones and personal computers, and the impact of its Security issues is expanding.
Since the CPU is the core component of IT (information technology) equipment, many opinions point out that the potential risks are very serious and there is a possibility that information is read. Intel, Google, and others are accelerating.
Intel refuted the contents of the report on January 3 and explained that "this is not a design flaw or defect of a specific CPU, but includes the problems of the entire IT industry including AMD, ARM Holdings, (Microsoft, etc.) operating system companies, etc. ". Subsequently, various companies also announced their response measures.
According to Intel, Google’s research team has discovered the security of the CPU a few months ago.
The root of the problem lies in the high-speed processing mechanism of the CPU. At present, many manufacturers use this mechanism. If a malicious attack occurs, confidential information that should be difficult to access may be read.
Intel Vice President Steve Smith held a telephone press conference on January 3, which stated that (hackers, etc.) cannot tamper with and destroy data in memory.
Google released a blog on the 3rd, saying that "the loophole will affect AMD, ARM Holdings, Intel and many other CPUs and operating systems running on it."
On the one hand, it has not yet been confirmed that there are devices that are subject to CPU security problems. However, this issue was allegedly affected by a wide range of issues. It has been speculated that the CPUs shipped in the past 10 years or so have potential safety hazards, and the total number can reach several billion.
From personal computers to smart phones, data centers, etc., CPU security issues may affect many IT devices. Previously, the security concerns of the IT industry were mostly similar to "unintentionally opening up email attachments," or to specific software. This time, whether Google's Chrome OS or Microsoft's Windows may be affected.
Microsoft issued a statement saying that "no equipment has been found to have been attacked so far. It will cooperate with semiconductor manufacturers to promote cloud service measures and upgrade Windows system patches."
Google said that the Android terminal with the latest security patches has been protected. ARM Holdings explained that "it will provide information to the cooperative semiconductor manufacturers and urge related parties to take countermeasures in software when the chip is affected."
