Spectre and Meltdown are critical chip-level vulnerabilities affecting billions of computers globally, posing unprecedented challenges for mitigation due to their unique design flaws. Discovered by Google and independent researchers, these vulnerabilities exploit "out-of-order" speculation technologies that have been integral to chip designs since the mid-1990s, affecting a wide range of devices, including desktops, servers, and mobile phones. The complexities of these vulnerabilities have necessitated extensive industry collaboration to develop fixes, which include custom-compiled binaries, microcode updates, and OS patches. Despite the extensive efforts to address these flaws, the remediation processes have varied risks and performance impacts, particularly on older hardware, and require careful implementation to prevent adverse effects such as system crashes. CrowdStrike's Falcon platform facilitates compatibility with these patches, offering behavioral detection measures to protect systems, while also providing tools for tracking mitigation status across endpoints.
