Microarchitectural Data Sampling (MDS) vulnerabilities patched on all ICDSoft servers
In regards to the recently discovered MDS vulnerabilities (also known as Zombieload, RIDL, and Fallout) in Intel CPUs, we want to assure our clients that all of our machines have been secured. Since our servers use Intel CPUs, our system administrators have applied the necessary security updates in order to protect our customers from these Microarchitectural Data Sampling vulnerabilities.
We take security very seriously, and although we aren't aware of any real world attack, we cannot risk having such a security hole in our server configuration.
