Will UTM 9 receive the spectre/meltdown updates?
Last update on https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/128053 was from Jan 10th, shows UTM9 as still under investigation.
When I run the spectre/meltdown check script it shows my system as vulnerable:
Spectre and Meltdown mitigation detection tool v0.35
Checking for vulnerabilities on current system
Kernel is Linux 3.12.74-0.268741462.g5cd15cc.rb6-smp64 #1 SMP Tue Nov 14 17:40:09 UTC 2017 x86_64
CPU is Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU N3700 @ 1.60GHz
Hardware check
* Hardware support (CPU microcode) for mitigation techniques
* Indirect Branch Restricted Speculation (IBRS)
* SPEC_CTRL MSR is available: UNKNOWN (couldn't read /dev/cpu/0/msr, is msr support enabled in your kernel?)
* CPU indicates IBRS capability: UNKNOWN (couldn't read /dev/cpu/0/cpuid, is cpuid support enabled in your kernel?)
* Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier (IBPB)
* PRED_CMD MSR is available: NO
* CPU indicates IBPB capability: NO
* Single Thread Indirect Branch Predictors (STIBP)
* SPEC_CTRL MSR is available: UNKNOWN (couldn't read /dev/cpu/0/msr, is msr support enabled in your kernel?)
* CPU indicates STIBP capability: NO
* Enhanced IBRS (IBRS_ALL)
* CPU indicates ARCH_CAPABILITIES MSR availability: NO
* ARCH_CAPABILITIES MSR advertises IBRS_ALL capability: NO
* CPU explicitly indicates not being vulnerable to Meltdown (RDCL_NO): NO
* CPU microcode is known to cause stability problems: NO (model 76 stepping 3 ucode 0x362)
* CPU vulnerability to the three speculative execution attacks variants
* Vulnerable to Variant 1: YES
* Vulnerable to Variant 2: YES
* Vulnerable to Variant 3: YES
CVE-2017-5753 [bounds check bypass] aka 'Spectre Variant 1'
* Kernel has array_index_mask_nospec: UNKNOWN (couldn't check (missing 'readelf' tool, please install it, usually it's in the 'binutils' package))
* Kernel has the Red Hat/Ubuntu patch: UNKNOWN (missing 'strings' tool, please install it, usually it's in the binutils package)
* Checking count of LFENCE instructions following a jump in kernel... UNKNOWN (couldn't check (missing 'readelf' tool, please install it, usually it's in the 'binutils' package))
> STATUS: UNKNOWN (Couldn't find kernel image or tools missing to execute the checks)
CVE-2017-5715 [branch target injection] aka 'Spectre Variant 2'
* Mitigation 1
* Kernel is compiled with IBRS/IBPB support: NO
* Currently enabled features
* IBRS enabled for Kernel space: NO
* IBRS enabled for User space: NO
* IBPB enabled: NO
* Mitigation 2
* Kernel compiled with retpoline option: NO
* Kernel compiled with a retpoline-aware compiler: NO
> STATUS: VULNERABLE (IBRS hardware + kernel support OR kernel with retpoline are needed to mitigate the vulnerability)
CVE-2017-5754 [rogue data cache load] aka 'Meltdown' aka 'Variant 3'
* Kernel supports Page Table Isolation (PTI): NO
* PTI enabled and active: NO
* Running as a Xen PV DomU: NO
> STATUS: VULNERABLE (PTI is needed to mitigate the vulnerability)
