Intel users should install the first coming updates for Intel microcode and Kernel without delay

Today a new variant of ZombieLoad was all over the news and it affects all Intel CPU’s including the newer ones.

The three new security vulnerabilities are CVE-2018-12207 (Machine Check Error on Page Size Change), CVE-2019-11135 (TSX Asynchronous Abort), as well as CVE-2019-0155 and CVE-2019-0154 (i915 graphics driver-related vulnerabilities).

The vulnerabilities are patched in the Kernel today. Red Hat already released these patched Kernels and Arch should follow very soon.

My LTS kernel updated earlier today. :white_check_mark:

Another Intel vulnerability, hmm? Is it that time of the month already? :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Seriously, though, I would jump ship to AMD if I could afford it.
