• OpenBSD Errata: March 1st, 2018 (meltdown)

    From T.J. Townsend@21:1/5 to All on Fri Mar 2 01:30:01 2018
    Errata patches for a speculative execution flaw in Intel CPUs have been released for OpenBSD 6.2 and 6.1.

    Intel CPUs contain a flaw called "Meltdown" which allows userspace programs
    to access kernel memory.

    Binary updates for the amd64 platform are available via the syspatch utility. Source code patches can be found on the respective errata pages:

    https://www.openbsd.org/errata61.html
    https://www.openbsd.org/errata62.html

    As these affect the kernel, a reboot will be needed after patching.
