Defect reported in Intel chips

[Samudra Haque]

Do you use Linux ? On an Intel PC ? Well you are in trouble. Windows 
will be affected in some ways as well but Linux specifically so (the 
fault is due to Intel's chipset's shortcomings and Linux communities use 
of that "bug/feature")

We are ALL in trouble as verified Proof of Concept (PoC) has been 
released. Patch, as soon as you can, and refresh your software bundles 
within the week for a few weeks to get rid of all old code that could 
have trojans pushed into it - major applications are pushing out 
updates. So best to inquire which ones to change over.

I'll have a busy time concerning this ... see the investigators twitter 
feed for hints.
