I-WebAssembly ivumela abaduni ukuba badonsa noma yikuphi ikhompyutha kumprosesa we-Intel

Ukubuyekezwa okulandelayo kobuchwepheshe beWebAssembly, okuvumela iziphequluli ukuba zenze ikhodi ye-byte ephansi, izokwenza amakhompyutha asekelwe ku-Intel abacubungulayo abasengozini ekuhlaselweni kwe-Specter ne-Meltdown, naphezu kwama-patches ekhishwe. Lokhu kwachazwa nguchwepheshe wezokuphepha we-cyber John Bragbom.

Ukuze usebenzise i-Specter noma i-Meltdown ukushaya ikhompyutha ngesiphequluli, abahlaseli kudingeka basebenzise uhlelo olunembile kakhulu lwe-timer. Abathuthukisi bazo zonke iziphequluli ezidumile kakade banciphise ukulinganisa okuphelele kwesilinganiso sesikhathi kwimikhiqizo yabo ukuvimbela ukuhlaselwa okunjalo. Kodwa-ke, ngokusebenzisa i-WebAssembly, lokhu kunciphisa kungasuswa, futhi into kuphela abaduni abakwazi ukuyibeka ubuchwepheshe kuyisekelo lokugeleza kwememori okwabiwe. Yethula iqembu elinjalo lokusekela i-WebAssembly creators izinhlelo esikhathini esizayo esiseduze.

Cishe bonke abacubungula be-Intel, amanye amamodeli e-ARM kanye nabancinci be-AMD basengozini yokukhubazeka kwe-Specter ne-Meltdown.
