I feel this is going to be one of those critical issues that a huge amount of hardware will never see the fix.

For those running Intel hardware make sure you keep an eye out for your motherboard manufacturers BIOS update if they release one.

Bear in mind this vulnerability is under OS level.

  • 6th, 7th & 8th generation Intel Core processor family
  • Intel Xeon Processor E3-1200 v5 & v6 product family
