NVIDIA is not saved from Meltdown and Specter either, as the company would also be affected by these security problems, which affect all the company's families of graphics solutions.

The Meltdown and Specter vulnerabilities are causing headaches for Intel, especially, but they are also causing headaches for AMD and ARM, who are also affected by these vulnerabilities. The Raspberry Pi is one of the few devices that escapes from the vulnerability or the only one, because it has just been known that NVIDIA, the world's largest manufacturer of graphics chips, is also being harassed by these vulnerabilities, although it does not affect all products, but apart from these.

According to information published this week, the chips of the GeForce, Quadro, NVS, Tesla and GRID families could also present problems due to these vulnerabilities, so the company will release a security update as soon as possible, to reduce the Minimize the impact of these on your chips. The security problem, which initially affected only the processors, seems to be that it has jumped to other chips. As we know, Meltdown affects only Intel processors, while Specter affects processors from Intel, AMD and ARM and now also NVIDIA and who else.

The industry as a whole has put the batteries in the development of solutions that can solve the error, either through security patches in operating systems, installing antivirus or with specific firmware, because there is no single solution, it seems to be a set of measures is necessary to correct vulnerabilities.

Intel, as it did with the i7 7700K temperature problems, has wrung the bullet, saying that it is not specifically a problem with its processors, but rather an exploit that can be applied to all systems. The company in the statement states: 'Recent reports that these exploits are caused by a' bug 'or a' defect 'and that they are unique to Intel products are incorrect. (…) Based on the analysis to date, many types of computing devices, with many processors and operating systems from different vendors, are susceptible to these exploits'

These vulnerabilities are especially dangerous, because they could sneak into systems running multiple virtual machines and steal user information, such as files, identities, passwords and others. Clearly this is a serious security problem, which is bothering users, so much so that Intel already has several lawsuits. It remains to be seen now how NVIDIA will solve the problem and if it is reported which product groups are affected by this problem.
