    If some ne'er-do-well has physical access to your machine, they can do a lot worse than this vulnerability threatens.

    Still, not a great advert for Intel, regardless of the viability of a Javascript attack.

    I think it's more news when a week goes by that Intel aren't dealing with a vulnerability.

    Sorry to be pedant, but it's JavaScript not Java. Two completely different things.
