A microcode update has been released to address the issue
'SWAPGS' side-channel attack can enable attackers to access sensitive data from Intel CPUs running Windows
Researchers used RAMBleed to obtain a signing key from an OpenSSH server using normal user privileges
The flaw could enable hackers to steal almost every bit of data from inside the CPU - including on servers running in the cloud
Algorithm equalises power-draw making side-channel attacks harder to execute
