Re: [LUG] github meltdown + spectre patch status

 

Ubuntu have *finally* rolled the new intel-microcode packages after some
foot dragging so Ubuntu (and Mint, etc) have the fixed packages for all
supported versions as of about 15 minutes ago.

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/intel-microcode

Debian aren't quite ready yet outside of Sid:

https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=intel-microcode

You'll probably be wanting to do a full apt dist-upgrade on your systems
now and make sure you've got current series kernels too before
rebooting. Don't forget there are still firmware (BIOS/UEFI) patches
from your motherboard vendors to go yet - those of you who are lucky
enough to even get them.

Fun times :|

Cheers
