SLAP, Apple and FLOP

New SLAP and FLOP CPU Attacks Expose Data From Apple Computers, Phones
New CPU side-channel attacks named SLAP and FLOP can be exploited to remotely steal data from Apple mobile and desktop devices.
SLAP and FLOP browser vulnerabilities threaten nearly every Apple device since 2021
Most modern browsers “sandbox” web sessions, so that one browser tab or window can’t access the data from other tabs/windows. The SLAP and FLOP vulnerabilities exploit features of the latest Apple processors to get around this sandboxing.
SLAP, Apple, and FLOP: Safari, Chrome at risk of data theft on iPhone, Mac, iPad Silicon
SLAP and FLOP build on Spectre, the 2018 microarchitecture attack that abused CPU speculation, in which processors try to accelerate operations by predicting the flow of execution through program code. By speculatively computing possible branches in logic in advance and discarding paths that aren't needed, CPUs can run applications faster.
