more-inSecurity researchers in Google said they have discovered serious security flaws affecting computer processors built by Intel and other chipmakers. The tech company disclosed the vulnerability not long after Intel said it’s working to patch it. Both Intel and Google said they were planning to disclose the issue next week when fixes will be available. Tech companies typically withhold details about security problems until fixes are available so that hackers wouldn’t have a road map to exploit the flaws. Google says it also affects other processors and the devices and operating systems running them.
