Re: Zombieload security patched kernels
Since I believe this is a Intel chip problem, is it needed in an AMD system?

my understanding is no

FYI: mx "test" repo is not the same thing as debian testing repo.

Re: Zombieload security patched kernels
dolphin_oracle,
From what I have read, this mediation of the Zombieload problem can be a performance hit on some functions in a Mac operating system performance, and 20-30% in MS windows. I have not seen the performance hit # for Linux, but there must be some o/s slowdown to fix this hardware problem for Intel Processors.
Understand the latest Intel CPUs are not effected by Zombieload (Gen 8 and 9)

Re: Zombieload security patched kernels
neither are the original generations of the core architecture. anything before sandy bridge should be ok if I'm reading things correctly.namida12 wrote: ↑Mon May 27, 2019 10:40 am dolphin_oracle,

Re: Zombieload security patched kernels
However a great number of Intel users are not using the latest generation of processors and I believe anticapitalista suggestions are correct, until user upgrade their hardware/computer.
Living in Vegas, I would bet there are other hardware exploitable flaws that are known at the highest levels that have still not been published/disclosed to the general computer users.

Not according to the kernel developers.
From my AMD laptop:
Code: Select all
E485:~$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/mds
Not affected
E485:~$
mod note: Signature removed, please read the forum rules
