Spectre & Meltdown Checker – CPU芯片漏洞检查脚本Linux版
处理器Meltdown与Spectre漏洞修复简要指南
Summary of the CVEs in Spectre & Meltdown Checker
CVE-2017-5753 bounds check bypass (Spectre Variant 1)
- Impact: Kernel & all software
- Mitigation: recompile software and kernel with a modified compiler that introduces the LFENCE opcode at the proper positions in the resulting code
- Performance impact of the mitigation: negligible
CVE-2017-5715 branch target injection (Spectre Variant 2)
- Impact: Kernel
- Mitigation 1: new opcode via microcode update that should be used by up to date compilers to protect the BTB (by flushing indirect branch predictors)
- Mitigation 2: introducing “retpoline” into compilers, and recompile software/OS with it
- Performance impact of the mitigation: high for mitigation 1, medium for mitigation 2, depending on your CPU
CVE-2017-5754 rogue data cache load (Meltdown)
- Impact: Kernel
- Mitigation: updated kernel (with PTI/KPTI patches), updating the kernel is enough
- Performance impact of the mitigation: low to medium
There are some other more generic BASH scripts for security scanning like:
– unix-privesc-check – Unix/Linux User Privilege Escalation Scanner
– LinEnum – Linux Enumeration & Privilege Escalation Tool
