Intel published last week a research paper detailing a new type of computer memory ... flexibility to software" by moving most of the mechanism that prevents speculative execution attacks at ...

Microsoft introduced Data Execution Prevention or DEP ... If there is an instance of a program on your computer using memory incorrectly, DEP notices it, closes the program and notifies you.

In the previous post we looked at the underlying causes of memory unsafety which ... the next instruction in the program is pushed onto the call stack and used as a return pointer (RP). When the ...

Data Execution Prevention ... attempts to run code from protected memory locations and help prevent attacks. If DEP keeps closing the same program, is my computer under attack?

The new attack was discovered by researchers at Tsinghua University, the University of Maryland, and a computer ... execution that makes it possible to extract secret data from user memory space ...
