Windows patches for ARM, AMD and Intel CPUs are now in the wild.
In fact a whole armada of patches is reported by some admins to come in, outside the usual timeline of Microsoft.
It also gets vrpeported by some people that if AV is not compatible with these patches, they will not install automatically. Woody Leonhard's well-known blog is at Defcon 2, so status and quality of these patches also currently is unknown and unconfirmed.
Its all a damn nasty and confused mess. Currently companies start to point fingers at each other, maybe breaking communication embargos to save themselves.
What a FUBAR mess.
Its important to understand that there can be no repair and no fixing of this problem, it is a hardware-based issue that cannot get fixed - except by replacing all affected CPUs and mainboard chips. Whatever is being applied in software fixings, is and can only be a workaround.
