Meltdown & Spectre Information and Discussion
#91
I'm checking for updates twice a day.  Just now  4.4.0-112 #135.

I ran tool v.0.32 with same result as others above - variant 2 vulnerable.

on another mitigation -

My main browser is FF 57, and I have it blocking insecure sites (this setup from before the Intel catastrophe!) - but some of these sites I want to view (articles etc., but I don't send and login or other info - not intentionally!) and these I view on Chromium, also customized to be reasonably secure, but a bit more permisssive.

Anyway, for those who don't already know there is a trial mitigation tool from the Chromium project which seeks to isolate sites you are accessing from each other. This will hopefully close a route for a rogue page to infect other open pages.

details here  https://www.chromium.org/Home/chromium-s...-All-Sites

go to the tool here    chrome://flags/#enable-site-per-process  and scroll down to Strict Site Isolation and enable.  (do this in Chromium!).

SN.  I hope my reply has been useful - click Thank on the left.
