gollark: There's some weirdness where it's not *strictly* rolled back entirely so some information can be extracted through bizarre side channels.
gollark: Spectre/Meltdown work using weirdness in speculative execution, which is where the CPU executes stuff faster by assuming one possibility is true then rolling it back if it's wrong.
gollark: CPUs have a bunch of privilege separation mechanisms, but flaws in them sometimes get around those.
gollark: The general thing with these flaws is just that the CPU behaves in some way it shouldn't/isn't documented as doing, so information is leaked from places or stuff which shouldn't be changed is changed.
gollark: Or static analysis of some sort, but detecting malware without just banning tons of legitimate code is extremely hard and possibly impossible.
