Meltdown Intel Patch Download



MEngine cannot provide a list of all machines missing meltdown patches. It can only report machines missing specific patches. Where is the list of all machines missing any meltdown patches? i.e. one list of machines. Good at totals, not good at useful reports.




Meltdown Intel Patch Download




Google has published mitigations on the infrastructure/products that may be affected (YouTube, Google Ads, Chrome, etc.). They also released a Security Patch Level (SPL) for Android covering updates that can further limit attacks that may exploit Meltdown and Spectre. A separate security update for Android will also be released on January 5. Note that patching on Android is fragmented, so users need to notify their OEMs for their availability. Nexus and Pixel devices can automatically download the update.


Several procedures to help protect home computers and related devices from the Meltdown and Spectre security vulnerabilities have been published.[15][16][17][18] Meltdown patches may produce performance loss.[19][20][21] On 18 January 2018, unwanted reboots, even for newer Intel chips, due to Meltdown and Spectre patches, were reported.[23] According to Dell: "No 'real-world' exploits of these vulnerabilities [ie, Meltdown and Spectre] have been reported to date [26 January 2018], though researchers have produced proof-of-concepts."[24][25] Further, recommended preventions include: "promptly adopting software updates, avoiding unrecognized hyperlinks and websites, not downloading files or applications from unknown sources ... following secure password protocols ... [using] security software to help protect against malware (advanced threat prevention software or anti-virus)."[24][25]


After discovering that the Spectre patches impact performance by up to 25% on data centre chips, and 3% to 4% on other systems, the chip giant backtracked and decided to advise customers not to download the patches, due to the reboots and performance hits they were causing.


How to importDownload the building block I have provided at the bottom of this post. Import it into your Ivanti Automation (Passkey is included in the zip-file) and it will ask you to provide a location (CIFS or SMB share) where it can find the patches. You would need to download all these patches for the systems you have and put them in that share. I have added download links to the list I provided earlier, so it should not be much of a hassle. After that just run it on all your affected systems.For each patch I chose the cumulative update (when available) rather than the delta update, because I had some issues with dependencies on Windows Server 2016?


For machines running Windows Server, a number of registry changes must be completed in addition to installation of the patches. NCCIC recommends verifying your Windows Server version before downloading applicable patches and performing registry edits. A list of registry changes can be found at -us/help/4072698/windows-server-guidance-to-protect-against-the-speculative-execution.


If you want to patch virtual images from a previous version, OS vendors have released patches to address CVE-2017-5753 (variant 1) and CVE-2017-5754 (variant 3). You can download the patches from the OS websites and use them to patch existing virtual images.


One of the bugs is specific to Intel but another affects laptops, desktop computers, smartphones, tablets and Internet servers alike. Intel and ARM insisted that the issue was not a design flaw, but it will require users to download a patch and update their operating system to fix.

While no known exploits of the vulnerabilities have been proven out, we highly recommend applying the latest security patches that will render these vulnerabilities nearly impossible to exploit. Furthermore, since exploiting these vulnerabilities requires running code via a malicious app, it is important to only download and install apps from trusted stores such as the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.


If you would like to further protect your personal device, please download ZoneAlarm Mobile Security from either the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. It will provide you with alerts regarding your system security configurations, apps with malicious contents, and on iOS will alert you if your device is running on an unpatched system. 2ff7e9595c
