A team of security researchers has disclosed new side-channel vulnerabilities in modern Apple processors that could steal sensitive information from web browsers.

The Georgia Institute of Technology and Ruhr University Bochum researchers, who presented another attack dubbed ‘iLeakage’ in October 2023, presented their new findings in two separate papers, namely FLOP and SLAP, which show distinct flaws and ways to exploit them.

The flaws stem from faulty speculative execution implementation, the underlying cause of notorious attacks like Spectre and Meltdown.
