Meltdown and spectre (Variant 2)

Usage and Config Patch
1

Hi All,

Can any one suggests on recent updates of meltdown issue and spectre (variant 2) ?
I heard variant 2 basically system restarts behaviors unexpectedly but Microsoft has released an update KB4078130.

Not sure whether bigfix has released the same.

Or any fixlet for disabling the Variant 2 behaviors in BigFix.

Can you provide more info?

4078130 is known to us.

Query asked before the KB released I think.

Thank you by the way.
