That's the CVE for just one of the vulnerabilities: Meltdown. Spectre has two separate CVEs: CVE-2017-5753 and CVE-2017-5715 > Debian does not have this released as a kernel update yet in any release at > this time. > > https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-5754 https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-5753 https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-5715 Same. If I recall what I read earlier correctly, kernel 4.15 contains the Meltdown mitigation, but no system-wide fix for Spectre is expected to be possible. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
