Hyper-Threading Dangers

Colin Percival of the FreeBSD Project discovered a security problem with “Hyper-Threading Technology”, found on newer Pentium 4 processors, where information from one thread can be read by another. He talked about it at BSDCan 2005 today (wish I was there!), and there’s a corresponding security alert for FreeBSD. The FreeBSD securing procedure should work for DragonFly, too.
