This is not a bug but something which seems a sequence of the side-channel vulnerabilities revealed last year and may need special attention. The researchers suggest: "In this paper, we extend these ideas in a different direction, and leverage speculative execution in order to hide malware from both static and dynamic analysis. Using this technique, critical portions of a malicious program���s computation can be shielded from view, such that even a debugger following an instruction- level trace of the program cannot tell how its results were computed.
