DCS Meltdown/Spectre Patch Compatibility
Vendors are releasing patches to mitigate the Intel vulnerabilities. Symantec is testing DCS with these patches as they are released.
As usual with Windows patches, no change to the Data Center Security Agent are required. As an extra precaution we tested the released patches for Windows 2016, 2012R2, 2008R2 and they have been fully certified.
For Linux platforms we are testing patches as they are released and no issue/update required other than AWS Linux.
The following table are the patches we have tested to date:
