The ghost of CPU security flaws reappears in the form of Spectre-NG

The magazine calls the set Spectre-NG and goes on to say that some or all of these flaws may also be present in ARM processors. The applicability of the flaws to AMD CPUs was said to be less clear. c't did not publish any specific technical details about the problems beyond mentioning that they were all similar to Spectre.
