The latest problem to hit Intel processors is the ZombieLoad vulnerability which could allow an attacker access to sensitive information.
According to the researchers, desktop, laptop, and Cloud computers may be affected, and is referenced as CVE-2018-12130

The ZombieLoad attack allows stealing sensitive data and keys while the computer accesses them.

While programs normally only see their own data, a malicious program can exploit the fill buffers to get hold of secrets currently processed by other running programs. These secrets can be user-level secrets, such as browser history, website content, user keys, and passwords, or system-level secrets, such as disk encryption keys.
