Just in case anybody who runs intel hasn't been paying attention: New kernel releases today, please read the announcement at https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/5/14/651 - the updated versions are 5.1.2, 5.0.16, 4.19.43, 4.14.119, 4.9.176. But if anyone is using 4.14, my memory says that it now needs a compiler which supports retpolines (whatever we were using for 8.2 should be new enough, for older systems, maybe time to update to a newer system.
The vulnerabilities also need new microcode, the link from the book seems to be unmaintained (new version from March at the side, but the version we link to is not flagged as out of date - and the March version is so flagged, but links back to the older one for 'latest'. I suppose that might be transient. In the meantime, microcode is in one of intel's github repos, and seems to cover everything from SandyBridge onwards. https://github.com/intel/Intel-Linux-Processor-Microcode-Data-Files The release is dated 20190514, the intel-ucode link goes to individual files, somebody got a link to a tarball and I managed to get the same when I tried to paste from some page there: https://github.com/intel/Intel-Linux...0190514.tar.gz That looks "odd". ĸen -- Before the universe began, there was a sound. It went: "One, two, ONE, two, three, four" [...] The cataclysmic power chord that followed was the creation of time and space and matter and it does Not Fade Away. - wiki.lspace.org/mediawiki/Music_With_Rocks_In -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
