Meltdown and Spectre patches availability per OS

#1 Post by belham2 »

Thought some might be interested in this. It's from OVH, but the info lets us see what has been done to date (they update this):

https://docs.ovh.com/fr/dedicated/meltd ... ng-system/

....Last update: 17 jan. at 10am CET

(this table reflects the situation at a given moment and is constantly evolving.)

As we communicated, OVH has been informed of the Spectre (CVE-2017-5753 and CVE-2017-5715) and Meltdown (CVE-2017-5754) security vulnerabilities, making a large part of computer equipment in operation vulnerable to potential attacks, particularly those equipped with Intel CPUs. Note than some AMD cpu may be affected too.

Some services, which are entirely managed by OVH, will not require any manipulation on your part: Domains, Metrics and Logs Data Platform, xDSL, VoIP, DBaaS, OVH Load Balancer, vRack, Exchange, MX Plan, Web Hosting, Cloud Desktop, VDI, CDN, Swift, CEPH, NAS-HA, Public Cloud Storage and Public Cloud Archive.

Securing certain other services such as Dedicated servers, Public Cloud instances, VPS or Private Cloud will require additional action on your part, consisting of applying the recommended update and patches of the operating system vendor of your servers.

To help you, we offer a non-exhaustive table listing the updates available for the main versions of the operating systems to find a patch to protect them against Meltdown and Spectre vulnerability. If you use another operating system, we recommend that you consult the documentation provided by the vendor to know if a patch is available to fix Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities.

You will also find a list of all affected Intel CPU. If you are using one of them, your system is potentially vulnerable, and you will need to install a patch against Meltdown and Spectre and/or update your kernel.
