Apple's M-series processors are renowned for their exceptional performance, largely attributed to the advanced "speculative execution" technology they employ. However, researchers at Georgia Tech have recently unveiled security risks inherent in this technology. They have identified two novel vulnerabilities, dubbed SLAP and FLOP, which affect the M2, M3, A15, and A17 chips. These vulnerabilities could be exploited by hackers to compromise sensitive user information. The SLAP attack allows unauthorized access to private data, while the FLOP attack circumvents memory safety checks. These flaws bear a striking resemblance to Intel's Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities but are exclusive to Apple hardware. The researchers have promptly reported these vulnerabilities to Apple, yet a fix has not been released, and a resolution may not become available until the next generation of processors.
