Intel finally released four or five generations Core Duo patch: stable does not restart

Spectre specter, Meltdown fuse hole has recently made Intel suffer, because the products existed in recent years and need to be repaired one by one, the workload is really rare, and there are frequent rollovers after patching.

Prior to this, Intel has already sent patches for these two vulnerabilities to the Core X series of the sixth-generation Corelake Skylake, seven-generation Core Kaby Lake, and eight-generation Core Coffee Lake enthusiasts, and solved frequent restart problems.

There are actually two versions of Spectre's ghost hole, CVE-2017-5715 can be solved by software update, and CVE-2017-5053 must be hardware-level patched.

Now Intel has released a patch for the second generation of Specter vulnerabilities to the fourth generation of Core Haswell and the fifth generation of the Broadwell family, emphasizing a stable patch, that is, it should not cause a restart.

Haswell first released in 2013, the following year conducted a speed upgrade, so the product is particularly large.

Broadwell is the product of 2015, but most are mobile platforms, only two on the desktop, so the impact is relatively small.
