I don't know what the significance of this security issue is to unRAID users who have Xeon CPU's as I would imagine that most unRAID servers are probably secured behind a firewall but they should, at least, be aware of it.

I wonder if this flaw exists in the E5 2670 Xeon so many of us grabbed when they were cleared out of data centers.

 

The fix is a firmware update. To the MB or the CPU?

 

 

 

 

I would assume the motherboard, I don't think you can do updates to CPU's.

Technically, you can using microcode updates, which we aren't doing in unRaid BTW.

Right, I think I knew that, but had forgotten.
