IBM has released both hardware MCL and z/OS PTFs for the Meltdown security vulnerability. Both the MCL and z/OS fixes need to be applied prior to setting a new IEASYS parm (OSPROTECT=1) to mitigate meltdown. Need to know if the IBM APAR OA54807 will impact MICS?

Resolution

IBM APAR OA54807 has no impact on MICS.
This APAR adds new information at the end of a section, so it has no impact on current DAY030 processing.
Support for any new field(s) added by this APAR would be considered an enhancement for future inclusion into MICS.
