The critical thing about this gap is the fact that it is a security gap in the hardware and thus no logging exists. Specifically, the methods described in Meltdown and Spectre fail to delimit memory areas between different applications. Thus, it is possible to access other data that is currently available in the processor's memory.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3935 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scaleuptech.com\/de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/SU_meltdown-code-300x124.png\" alt=\"Meltdown code\" width=\"300\" height=\"124\" \/><br \/>\nMore information about the background of Meltdown and Spectre can also be found on the official website of Graz University of Technology:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/meltdownattack.com\">https:\/\/meltdownattack.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Updates for customer systems<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">We recommend that all customers install updates on their own server as soon as they are available.
