New Intel Chip Vulnerability Load Value Injection Affects Sgx

After Spectre and Meltdown, Intel chips are on the news again for a new vulnerability. The newest threat is called Load Value Injection and it allows attackers to access Intel’s Software Guard eXstensions (SGX) – the part responsible for storing sensitive information.

Intel is aware of the situation and has given the vulnerability a “medium” severity. In fact, the chipmaker has started rolling out an update for the SGX Platform Software (PSW) and SDK to mitigate the issue.
