Phoronix: LVI Attack Hits Intel SGX - Defeats Existing Mitigations, More Performance Hits

Load Value Injection (LVI) is being disclosed today as a new class of transient-execution attacks and the researchers claim can defeat all existing mitigations around Meltdown, Foreshadow, Zombieload, RIDL and Fallout. The researchers say LVI can affect virtually any access to memory and compiler-based mitigations can be expensive...

ARM64 is looking rather nice right about now. Just need a super fast x86-64 translator for Steam games and Wine.

Just use more wine in case your x86-64 translator is too slow.

Cheers!

Genuinely curious, please don't read this with a "how dumb" tone.

Not a hardware guy, but the first prerequisite (Incorrect transient forwarding) already sounds crazy to me.
What the h*** are they doing inside the processors sold to us?
