Баг настолько серьезен?

"As to the HT 'vulnerability', it really seems to be not a whole lot
different than what people saw with early SMP and (small) direct-mapped
caches. Thank God those days are gone.
"I'd be really surprised if somebody is actually able to get a real-world
attack on a real-world pgp key usage or similar out of it (and as to the
covert channel, nobody cares). It's a fairly interesting approach, but
it's certainly neither new nor HT-specific, [nor does it] necessarily seem
all that worrying in real life."
