10[$] Strengthening user-space Spectre v2 protection null/LWN/0000764209 70\r

4i The Spectre variant 2 vulnerability allows the speculative\r
5i execution of incorrect (in an attacker-controllable way)\r
6i indirect branch predictions, resulting in the ability to\r
7i exfiltrate information via side channels. The kernel has been\r
8i reasonably well protected against this variant since shortly\r
9i after its disclosure in January. It is, however, possible for\r
10i user-space processes to use Spectre v2 to attack each other;\r
11i thus far, the mainline kernel has offered relatively little\r
12i protection against such attacks. A recent [1]proposal from\r
13i Jiri Kosina may change that situation, but there are still\r
14i some disagreements around the details.\r
