Spectre Variant 2 mitigation - Intel Microcode
Posted: 2018/01/12 15:43:11
Hi,
First post here
I have a couple of servers running CENTOS 6.9 and am looking for help in mitigating the effects of Spectre variant 2.
I see Intel has microcode updates available for CENTOS 7> @ https://downloadcenter.intel.com/downlo ... -Data-File
Normally i'd just take a deep breath and apply the code, but both are production servers so I can't really risk it.
Has anyone here successfully applied this code to CENTOS 6 and their system has lived?
Cheers,
