Meltdown/Spectre - RHSA-2018:0512 and RHBA-2018:0513

Usage and Config Patch
1

Wanted to be sure the BigFix Content Team is tracking RHBA-2018:0513 and RHSA-2018:0512. These are new releases from Red Hat, available to RHSM subscribers now, for Meltdown/Spectre.

RHSA-2018:0512 is a kernel update to change Red Hat’s mitigations to use the ‘retpoline’ method, and RHBA-2018-0513 is an updated version of GCC to support building custom software with retpoline / Spectre mitigations.

My admins are eagerly awaiting content as soon as its available.

Apologies for the late response, but we’ve already released the content a while back. You should see it in Patches for RHEL 6 Native Tools site v387 or later.
