The year is definitely under way, with an astonishing 412 packages coming through commits – mostly for cauldron, but a few are the last remaining updates for Mageia 5, as well as important security updates for Mageia 6.<\/p>\n

Among those updates are all the kernel and microcode updates – our thanks to tmb and our untiring devs for these – to begin hitting Meltdown and Spectre on the head.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0big hand for the upstream kernel team, as well as our own packagers, QA testers and everyone else that was involved in getting this tested and released.<\/p>\n

The best place to check these updates out fully is the Mageia Advisories<\/a> page:<\/p>\n

\"Screenshot<\/p>\n

The Mageia Advisories page is full of information! Clicking on the Advisory number (second column) will take you to the full advisory; so, clicking on MGASA-2018-0076, the advisory for the most recent kernel updates to Mageia 6, takes you to an explanation of what is covered in the fix, plus references for further reading.<\/p>\n

If you’re more interested in the original security announcement, the list of CVEs in the right-hand column is also filled with links; clicking on any one of those links will take you to the information for that CVE. If, like CVE 2017-5715, it covers a number of fixes in Mageia, you will arrive at an interim page where all the updates covering that advisory are aggregated, looking like this:<\/p>\n

On the aggregated page, clicking on the part of the heading containing the advisory number<\/p>\n
