<font size="-1">Hello Everyone,<br>
<br>
I have two questions about the recent CPU bugs that were announced
this week:<br>
<br>
- Which Linus kernel versions included the kernel side fixes
that help mitigate these issues? I'm specifically looking at the
LT series for Centos 6<br>
<br>
- To get some of the Intel microcode fixes, should I be
expecting that the Centos 6 "microcode_ctl-1.17-25.2.el6_9.x86_64"
package I received today will be applicable on *any* ElRepo kernel
I choose to run?<br>
<br>
- I have systems which still need Centos5 that I want to secure
but that's obviously EOL. I'd like to understand what the ElRepo
group recommends to run as a vanilla kernel that has these needed
CPU fixes as well as any recommendations on how to get an updated
CPU microcode package for it.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks for you time..<br>
