https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2019/09/weakness-in-intel-chips-lets-researchers-steal-encrypted-ssh-keystrokes/ DDIO, or Direct Data I/O, is an Intel-exclusive performance enhancement that allows NICs to directly access a processor's L3 cache, completely bypassing the a server's RAM, to increase NIC performance and lower latencies. Cybersecurity researchers from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and ETH Zurich, in a research paper published on Tuesday, have discovered a critical vulnerability with DDIO that allows compromised servers in a network to steal data from every other machine on its local network. This include the ability to obtain keystrokes and other sensitive data flowing through the memory of vulnerable servers. This effect is compounded in data centers that have not just DDIO, but also RDMA (remote direct memory access) enabled, in which a single server can compromise an entire network. RDMA is a key ingredient in shoring up performance in HPCs and supercomputing environments. Intel in its initial response asked customers to disable DDIO and RDMA on machines with access to untrusted networks, while it works on patches. I personally expect Intel will have patches for this very soon

With this being an enterprise level issue rather than consumer, I bet this will get fixed quick.

Why is everyone freaking out? We don't patch our games and or windows? This is how the future will be like. Military hardware will get updates too.

Intel patches keep making their hardware slower and slower while AMD is repeatedly unaffected. Like in another thread, you said "false advertising". This is similar. Performance keeps dropping from what was expected. And, how many similar Intel exploits within the last year are we up to?

I agree with u on that front. They should comp us for the degradation.

For real, i'm still really salty that my i7 7820X is vulnerable to a few things related to hyper-threading and the fix is a patch that you have to load separately. I attempted to patch it, but Asus didn't make the installation easy to understand. After a few hours, I just gave up and turned off Hyper-threading.
