Forget Dan’s DNS, the Armageddon Comes from Intel’s CPUs

Kaspersky will show how processor bugs can be exploited using certain instruction sequences and a knowledge of how Java compilers work, allowing an attacker to take control of the compiler.
The demonstrated attack will be made against fully patched computers running a range of operating systems, including Windows XP, Vista, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Linux and BSD. The demo will be presented at the Hack In The Box Security Conference in Kuala Lumpur in October
