Dutch researchers have developed a method of exploiting how CPUs manage memory to map RAM memory and discover where software components, such as files and libraries, are located and exploit vulnerabilities in them. Given sufficient time, the script could tell attackers what components are on the victims computer and where they are located. The team stated that protecting against the attack is practically impossible and not the fix is not straightforward, as the script exploits a CPU architectural feature. But preventing the execution of JavaScript files within the browser should prevent an attack. The researchers also demonstrated that a wide range of CPUs are vulnerable to this type of attack.”]
