As for those patches, well, some are here. Some are en route. And others may be a long time coming. Everybody is saying were not affected or hey, we released patches, and it has been really confusing, says Archie Agarwal, CEO of the enterprise security firm ThreatModeler. And in the security community its hard to tell who is the right person to resolve this and how soon can it be resolved. The impact is pretty big on this one.
So hows it going so far? Better, at least, than it seemed at first. The United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team and others initially believed that the only way to protect against Meltdown and Spectre would be total hardware replacement. The vulnerabilities impact fundamental aspects of how mainstream processors manage and silo data, and replacing them with chips that correct these flaws still may be the best bet for high security environments. In general, though, replacing basically every processor ever simply isnt going to happen. CERT now recommends apply updates as the solution for Meltdown and Spectre.
One of the most confusing parts of this whole thing is that there are two vulnerabilities that affect similar things, so its been challenging just to keep the two separate, says Alex Hamerstone, a penetration tester and compliance expert at the IT security company TrustedSec. But its important to patch these because of the type of deep access they give. When people are developing technology or applications they’re not even thinking about this type of access as being a possibility so it’s not something they’re working aroundit just wasnt in anybody’s mind.
Part of the pandemonium over addressing these vulnerabilities stems from the necessary involvement of multiple players. Processor manufacturers like Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, and ARM are working with the hardware companies that incorporate their chips, as well as the software companies that actually run code on them to add protections. Intel cant single handedly patch the problem, because third party companies implement its processors differently across the tech industry. As a result, groups like Microsoft, Apple, Google, Amazon, and the Linux Project have all been interacting and collaborating with researchers and the processor makers to push out fixes.
