Although a lot has been written about Meltdown and Spectre since their announcement, I have not seen a good mid-level introduction to the vulnerabilities and mitigations. In this post I’m going to attempt to correct that by providing a gentle introduction to the hardware and software background required to understand the vulnerabilities, a discussion of the vulnerabilities themselves, as well as a discussion of the current mitigations.
