An MDS reading list

We contemplated putting together an LWN article on the 'microarchitectural
data sampling' (MDS) vulnerabilities, as we've done for past
speculative-execution issues. But the truth of the matter is that it's
really more of the same, and there is a lot of material out there on the
net already. So, for those who would like to learn more, here's a list of
resources.

This
page from the kernel documentation contains a fairly detailed
description of the problem and this
page has mitigation information.
ZombieLoadAttack.com
describes the ZombieLoad MDS attack and, in particular, contains this paper
[PDF] from Michael Schwarz et al. with the details.

mdsattacks.com holds academic
papers on the Fallout
[PDF] (Marina Minkin et al.) and RIDL [PDF] (Stephan
van Schaik et al.) attacks.

Jon Masters has written an
overview article complete with a three-minute video on the
vulnerabilities and their exploits. For those wanting more Masters,
there is also a
longer video that goes deeper.
Here is Intel's
'deep dive' into the MDS vulnerabilities.
Cyberus Technology has put up an
overview article that discusses some of the possible attacks
enabled by the MDS vulnerabilities.
