1 Hello,
2
3 I just finished installing kernel 4.14.48 on two
4 Intel laptops and I have different results for
5
6 /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spec_store_bypass
7
8 On one of them it looks nice:
9 "Mitigation: Speculative Store Bypass disabled via prctl and seccomp"
10 but on the other it still says "Vulnerable".
11
12 Any idea on what might influence this? The kernel configs are fairly similar, the only thing that's different is the microcode, which is from 2017 for the "vulnerable" one.
13
14 Thanks
