Is this flaw affects the current stable Linux kernels? Workaround?
Patch?
Simple. Just boot a uniprocessor kernel, and/or disable HT in BIOS.
Some pages with relevant information:
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0403.2/0920.html
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2317
These pages have zero information on the "flaw." In fact, I can see no
information at all proving that there is even a problem here.
Classic "I found a problem, but I'm keeping the info a secret" security
crapola.
