Cause
Schneider Electric has become aware of two side channel attacks that leverage critical vulnerabilities in a wide range of computer CPU. These vulnerabilities have been named Spectre and Meltdown. Spectre tricks other applications into accessing arbitrary locations in their memory. Meltdown breaks the mechanism that keeps applications from accessing arbitrary system memory. There have been no known exploits in the wild.
