"Red Hat is no longer providing Spectre variant 2 mitigation microcode due to an instability that prevents customer systems from booting," the company said. "The latest microcode_ctl and linux-firmware packages revert these unstable changes to the microprocessor firmware, reverting it to versions known to be stable and thoroughly tested that were released before the Spectre/Meltdown embargo was lifted on January 3. Customers are advised to contact their processor manufacturers to obtain the latest microcode for their specific processor."

On January 22, Linux kernel creator Linus Torvalds spoke very nigeria whatsapp data about the fixes proposed by Intel.

"They (Intel) are doing some really crazy stuff. They're doing stuff that doesn't make sense," he said. "And I really don't want to see these garbage patches just being sent out without thinking."

Earlier this month, problems with its processors - instead of making up nonsense and claiming its processors are working as intended.

Meltdown and Spectre were discovered by researcher Jen Horn of Project Zero, who informed Intel, AMD, and ARM of the vulnerabilities on June 1, 2017.

Earlier this month, Microsoft had to reissue patches because the first version prevented systems with AMD processors from booting.

The final version should come after this preview, he said: "I don't expect any more delays after this. We've had previews of 9 before, but they're pretty rare. The last one was 3.1-rc9 back in 2011. That release went all the way to rc10, but I don't think we'll do that here, despite all the CPU bug fixing madness," he said.
