In regard to: Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Intel hardware, Richard L. Hamilton...:
Given how broadly Spectre might be applicable, I'm surprised that
there's no mention of at least investigating the possibilities on CPUs
other than Intel, AMD, and ARM - like SPARC, Power, or for that matter
the CPUs in IBM mainframes.
Red Hat's landing page for their response
https://access.redhat.com/security/vulnerabilities/speculativeexecution
Does mention similar attacks for the other architectures that Red Hat
supports (SPARCs not included).
Granted that between lawyers and marketing, there would be a reluctance
to say anything.
Intel's "Newsroom" response page is pretty terrible, in that regard.
