HP Security Bulletin & Updates- Spectre and Meltdown Vulnerabilities | NotebookReview

Many of you may already be aware of this: a class of security vulnerabilities known as "speculative execution side-channel attacks" has been publicized recently which can affect most modern processors (including Intel, AMD, and ARM). Nicknamed "Spectre" and "Meltdown", these vulnerabilities can potentially lead to loss of sensitive information when exploited.

HP has published a security bulletin providing additional information on these vulnerabilities, and has posted which desktop and notebook models will be receiving BIOS updates. In addition to applying these BIOS updates, users are being advised to apply the latest operating system patches and anti-virus updates as soon as possible or as policy allows.

Please note that these security vulnerabilities are industry-wide, and affect other OEMs as well.

NOTES / REMINDERS:

Due to the nature of these vulnerabilities, it is strongly recommended that you update your BIOS as soon as possible.

After flashing to the updated BIOS, you may NOT be able to revert back to a previous BIOS revision. Refer to the BIOS release notes for additional information.

Only flash the BIOS image that is applicable to your particular notebook model. Do NOT attempt to flash a BIOS image that is not supported or designated for your model. Doing so will render your system unusable!

Be sure to carefully read the guidelines displayed by the BIOS update utility to ensure a successful flash.

BIOS UPDATES:

Here is a list of affected desktop and notebook models that will be receiving BIOS updates, as published within the HP security bulletin. Please note that this list may be updated as revisions are made.
