Exclamation Intel Bug fixes


I have an Intel Core Duo processor from 2009. I have just downloaded and run HardInfo, and it tells me that my processor is vulnerable to CPU Meltdown and Spectre variants 1 and 2. CPU Meltdown needs "kernel page table isolation". For the two Spectres, it doesn't give specifics.

How do I go about fixing these?

Linux Mint 9.1

Should be mostly fixed I think. https://fedoramagazine.org/kpti-new-...gate-meltdown/

I see debug output that goes though all of that stuff and checks. Some microcode available but I'd think running 19 should solve that.
