Meltdown and Spectre: Καθώς όλες οι άμεσα εμπλεκόμενες Companies (Intel, AMD and others) have started to release CPU updates affected by the Meltdown and Specter vulnerabilities, OEMs and motherboard manufacturers are not left behind and are starting to release BIOS/UEFI updates for the affected computers.
Although not all companies have patches for vulnerable products, most of them have promised updates in the coming months.
These BIOS / UEFI updates are part of the Meltdown and Specter vulnerabilities that appeared earlier this year.
Software patches at the operating system level have largely fixed Meltdown, but both the Microsoft and the Linux community stated that a firmware fix would be necessary to fully address the Specter vulnerability.
