Vulnerability L1TF, Meltdown

[Member pebkac]

Hi

I have installed Antix-17.1 on my Apple Powerbook Pro 1.1.
Dual boot, next to OS-X “Snow Leopard” 10.6.8.
Then apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade.

So far, so good. Most “engines are running”, except built-in cam.
But that doesn’t matter.

After playing around a little bit, inxi -zv8 shows me
a vulnerability for l1tf and meltdown. See CPU section.

So I made a kernel upgrade with 4.9.126 i486 non pae, as recommended.
Checking again, inxi still shows this vulnerability.

Is this normal or should I try another kernel?

Hello!

Those messages in inxi just show what vulnerabilities affect your hardware.
The 4.9.126-antix.1-486-smp kernel is fully patched to take into account those vulnerabilities.
So, nothing to worry about.

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

Ok, thank you very much for quick reply.
Good to see, that’s OK.

Have a nice day.
