It also enables reporting on the Speculative Store Bypass \\ vulnerability (aka GPZ Variant 4) which affects Intel processors and must \\ be patched with a microcode update. \\ To see the status of CPU vulnerability mitigations on your system, look at \\ the files in: /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities \\ In addition, these kernels enable SMB2. Here's the complete list of kernel \\ config changes from the previous 4.4.132: \\ -X86_DEBUG_STATIC_CPU_HAS n \\ CIFS_SMB2 n -> y \\ +CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE y \\ +CIFS_SMB311 n \\ +X86_FAST_FEATURE_TESTS y \\ Be sure to upgrade your initrd after upgrading the kernel packages. \\ If you use lilo to boot your machine, be sure lilo.conf points to the correct \\ kernel and initrd and run lilo as root to update the bootloader. \\ If you use elilo to boot your machine, you should run eliloconfig to copy the \\ kernel and initrd to the EFI System Partition. \\ For more information, see: \\ https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2018-3639 \\ (* Security fix *) {{tag>slackware changelog slackware-14.2 2018-07}} news/2018/07/27/slackware-14.2-changelog.txt Last modified: 8 months agoby Giuseppe Di Terlizzi Log In
