  • “Side channel” vulnerabilities and Windows

    Posted on May 19, 2019 at 12:07 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    I’ve avoided talking much about Spectre, Meltdown and the like because there’s an endless succession of patches to Windows and the hardware – and registry changes to go with them – and we still haven’t seen a real-world exploit.

    If you’re running a high profile server, though, you should keep up on this stuff.

    Karl Wester-Ebbinghaus (@alqmar) has come up with an exhaustive list of patches, patches to patches, BIOS updates and registry settings, all related to the “side channel” vulnerabilities. Click on the comment link at the top to see the results of his extensive investigation.
