Researchers at VU Amsterdam released InSpectre Gadget and disclosed Native BHI (CVE-2024-2201), a Spectre-style technique that can bypass Intel's deployed mitigations to leak arbitrary kernel memory on Intel CPU cores (demonstrated by reading /etc/shadow). They published tooling, a gadget database for Linux kernel 6.6-rc4, a paper and demo video; Intel and the Linux kernel have issued updated guidance and patches while AMD and Arm are reported not vulnerable.
