Spectre-NG = Variant 3a and 4?

I removed mention of Spectre-NG in the table at the end of the article and also in the introduction since there's no evidence that the issues rumored in the german article (https://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Exclusive-Spectre-NG-Multiple-new-Intel-CPU-flaws-revealed-several-serious-4040648.html) is related to Variant 3a and 4 for now. The german article doesn't mention at all what CVE number correspond to the 8 vulnerabilities detailed in it, so we can't be absolutely sure that Variant 3a and 4 are actually part of Spectre-NG.

I restored the table and added a ref as it is very clear from the article that the two Variants 3a and 4 belong to the 8 Spectre-NG variants.

Speculative execution exploit variants

The table in this section also exists here and here. I definitely think we should create a new article and merge these sections. Artem S. Tashkinov (talk) 11:32, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
