If we were making cars, there would be the world's largest recall. Ever.

The newly-discovered vulnerabilities called Meltdown (basically melts security boundaries normally enforced by the hardware) and Spectre (name based on the root cause, speculative execution) affect almost every modern computer in existence, particularly those with Intel, AMD and ARM processors.
