Has version 18.1 been patched to protect against Meltdown?
Hi
Has this version been patched to protect against Meltdown?
Re: Has version 18.1 been patched to protect against Meltdown?
That's the latest version in the 4.4 kernel series, which has been out for a while now. So the answer is no, the new kernel patched for this security flaw has not yet been released. Hang tight, it should be coming soon (at least I hope).
Re: Has version 18.1 been patched to protect against Meltdown?
Kernel patch scheduled for Tuesday, January 9 (or sooner if ready).

I guess it's been delayed.

Please use the existing threads instead of starting yet another one, and do a bit of looking around before you post. For example, there is an announcement by Clem.
If your issue is solved, kindly indicate that by editing the first post in the topic, and adding [SOLVED] to the title. Thanks!
