G+_bil Jeschke Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share Posted January 16, 2018 Ran it on my work laptop and it is vulnerable to Specter. Found the Dell update utility which shows that it has a Bios and some chipset updates issued a few days ago, as well as stuff for the Intel management engine, as well as other driver updates. Will have to install and reboot latter to find out if Specter is patched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_bil Jeschke Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 Ran it again and specter is patched now. The lesson is that just waiting for MS patches is not enough, but to find the manufacturer patches as well which are not checked automatically.
