The impact of patching MDS on Windows 10 in a virtual desktop infrastructure
On May 14th 2019 a group of security advisors, together with Intel, publicly announced, yet again, vulnerabilities in the Intel CPUs called Microarchitectural Data Sampling (MDS). These vulnerabilities are also known as Fallout, RIDL (Rogue In-Flight Data Load) and ZombieLoad. On the same date, major vendors like Microsoft, Google, Amazon...

The Impact of Spectre, Meltdown and L1TF in a virtualized RDSH environment
In 2018 the CPU hardware vulnerabilities Spectre, Meltdown and later L1 Terminal Fault (L1TF, also known as ForeShadow) made headlines. Hardware and software vendors released firmware updates and software patches to mitigate these vulnerabilities. Unfortunately, depending on the workload, these mitigations come with a performance impact. This GO-EUC research focusses...
