Title: Patched against Meltdown
Post by: Tony on January 04, 2018, 10:05:34 PM

I'm sure it's not escaped anyone's notice here that a huge number of Intel CPUs are vulnerable to Meltdown attack, so sorry if the server has been a bit up and down while the kernel was upgraded :)

Well done Tony.

Is this something that should be done to all PC or will it happen with normal updates from MS and Linux?

Should happen with normal updates over time.
