### Types of Attacks:
Some CPUs have unfixable flaws (especially Intel CPUs) that could be exploited by various malware. Here is a good current list of such vulnerabilities affecting recent widespread CPUs: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient_execution_CPU_vulnerability> <sup>[[Wikiless]](https://wikiless.org/wiki/Transient_execution_CPU_vulnerability)</sup> <sup>[[Archive.org]](https://web.archive.org/web/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient_execution_CPU_vulnerability)</sup>
Transient execution attacks (formerly called speculative execution side channel methods) and select security issues plague many Intel CPUs.
