360cpu vulnerability repair tool is a CPU vulnerability detection and repair tool recently launched by 360 Security Guard. Due to the threat of two groups of CPU vulnerabilities "Meltdown" and "Spectre" recently disclosed by foreign security agencies, major security Manufacturers have launched CPU immune repair tools one after another. Before stable patches appear, everyone should use this 360cpu vulnerability repair tool to ensure their privacy security.
Software introduction:
This tool can detect whether a computer has vulnerabilities with one click, comprehensively check patch compatibility, and push security updates to systems and browsers affected by vulnerabilities, effectively immunizing against CPU vulnerabilities.
For systems without patches, turning on 360 Security Guard can comprehensively defend against attacks and minimize the risk of vulnerabilities.
The exploitation of these two sets of vulnerabilities relies on the speculative execution feature commonly used by modern CPUs to read core data from CPU memory through user-level applications. The CPU is like the human brain, and your thoughts may be leaked at any time.
In actual attack scenarios, attackers can leak underlying operating information in the local operating system under certain conditions, bypass the kernel's isolation protection based on this information, and obtain users' relevant private information through remote browser attacks.
Although this series of vulnerabilities have a wide impact, the actual harm caused is not particularly serious. Zheng Wenbin, assistant president and chief security engineer of 360, said that as long as netizens ensure good Internet habits and timely update patches for their systems and browsers, they can Effectively defend against attacks that exploit these vulnerabilities.
Patching is the most important step to defend against CPU vulnerability attacks. 360 Security Guard's "CPU Vulnerability Immunity Tool" can detect the system's vulnerability to vulnerabilities with one click, comprehensively check patch compatibility, and quickly download and install patches for users.
Since the biggest threat of CPU vulnerabilities is malicious web page attacks on browsers, the immunity tool will detect the browser and prompt users to upgrade to the latest version with patches, thereby blocking the intrusion channel for malicious web pages to attack CPU vulnerabilities. For this vulnerability The only remote attack entrance establishes a solid security line.
Complete repair of CPU vulnerabilities is highly complex. Repairing these vulnerabilities requires collaboration and in-depth modifications by operating system manufacturers, virtualization manufacturers, software and hardware distributors, browser manufacturers, and CPU manufacturers to completely solve the problem. At present, the 32-bit (X86) system patch released by Microsoft cannot completely prevent attacks. It needs to be combined with the yet-to-be-released Intel microcode patch to prevent all attacks.
In addition, in view of the fact that the urgently issued patches may be incompatible with some software on the computer, causing blue screens and system failure to function normally, 360 Security Guards hereby reminds everyone that they should handle it with caution and wait until the patch is stable before applying the patch.
What are the dangers of CPU vulnerabilities:
Meltdown and Specter, two major CPU vulnerabilities, have made all computer users anxious for a while, and the performance loss is small.
However, Meltdown and Specter vulnerability attacks make information that should be protected in the PC become accessible to external interception.
This means that your Alipay, bank account number, password, and photos are all at risk of being exposed.
