Yuriy working on new CHIPSEC Spectre test

Nice to see some recent CHIPSEC activity, given all the recent related CVEs…
…But this is not from the CHIPSEC team, it is from ex-CHIPSEC team member Yuriy of Eclypsium.

Added new module checking for Spectre variant 2
The module checks if system is affected by Speculative Execution Side Channel vulnerabilities. Specifically, the module verifies that the system supports hardware mitigations for Branch Target Injection a.k.a. Spectre Variant 2 (CVE-2017-5715)

See source comments for more info.
