CPU Vulnerabilities and EOL Software Insights

This chapter explores critical CPU security vulnerabilities uncovered by a tech company, emphasizing risks associated with bypassing microcode signature verification. It also addresses the implications of end-of-life (EOL) software and the need for the Common Vulnerability and Exposure (CVE) system to acknowledge these as vulnerabilities. Additionally, the discussion highlights the necessity of relying on established cryptographic practices and the importance of maintaining clear communication about software support to prevent security breaches.
