This patch provides mitigation for Gen9 hardware only. Patches
for Gen7 and Gen7.5 will be provided later. Note that Gen8 is not
impacted due to a previously implemented workaround. The mitigation
involves using an existing hardware feature to forcibly clear down
all EU state at each context switch.
With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
