Yep, and judging by this:

 

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/01/22/intel_spectre_fix_linux/

 

It's all becoming a monumental farce.

 

EDIT: Couldn't help but add this comment from below that article:

 

A business decision, not technical

 

"Torvalds observed that the cost of using IBRS on existing hardware is so significant that no one will set the hardware capability bits".

 

And that is exactly the point, as a "business" mind sees it.

 

This way, it will be the user who becomes responsible for insecurity as he failed to turn on the protection bit.

 

Or he can turn it on and suffer with the resulting low performance - and that, too, will be his responsibility.

Did you also install the BIOS update?

 

Also, did you try to install the anti-anti-Spectre update? KB4078130?

Hi krzemien

 

Bleeping computer is reporting the bad guys are about to unleash malware aimed at Meltdown and Spectre flaws.

 

A little bit of JavaScript in a web page is all that's needed.

 

Looks like we will have to disable browser JavaScript or go offline.

 

I have one PC that is patched for both flaws. All other PC's need the BIOS update Spectre fix. An 8700K and an ASUS Maximus X Hero MB running Windows 10 Pro is patched against both exploits.
