Kernel-memory-leaking Intel processor, is SPARC safe ???

3479567Jan 5 2018 — edited Jan 17 2018

Hey Guys,

A fundamental design flaw in Intel's processor chips has forced a significant redesign of the Linux and Windows kernels to defang the chip-level security bug.

Similar operating systems, such as Apple's 64-bit macOS, will also need to be updated – the flaw is in the Intel x86-64 hardware, and it appears a microcode update can't address it.It has to be fixed in software at the OS level.

Do Oracle has come up with any update on x86 based Solaris ?

Do we have any issue with SPARC based solaris ?
