Spectre, Meltdown security update

[MDDI]

I have been checking the Driver Update link for my system, patiently awaiting the Spectre, Meltdown  security BIOS firmware patch.

I have also been checking the HP Spectre, Meltdown Security Bulletin for an update. The Security Bulletin lists an update; sp85232 (version 01.15).

The lastest BIOS update offered on the Driver Update link  is version 01.08.

I cannot find any "read me" notes on the sp85232 update v01.15. Does anyone know if this update is "released" and recommended or is it a BETA?

The HP advisory was revised (it does often) and the probook 470 g4 bios update is listed with the new bios

HP released a security bulleting to address that here:

There is a new Security Bulletin that addresses the "Derivative Side-Channel Analysis Method" that can be found here:
