Thanks for summarizing. Does anyone have time to link to more on the "side-channel leaking kernel address information into userland via JavaScript" ?


This isn't exactly that, but here[1] is a talk linked in the post from the other day which shows a PoC breaking ASLR in Linux from JavaScript running in the browser, via a timing attack on the MMU. There's a demo a half hour in.

EDIT: This post[2] discusses the specific speculative execution cache attack and claims there is a JavaScript PoC (but doesn't cite a source for that claim)
