2018 review: random reboots of Meltdown-Spectre patch

(January 12, 2018, 4:10 AM PST) Spectre and Meltdown are design flaws in modern CPUs that could allow hackers to bypass system protections on a wide range of devices, allowing attackers to read sensitive information, such as passwords, from memory.

Intel began making software and firmware updates available to mitigate attacks exploiting these flaws last week, pushing them out via system manufacturers. However, yesterday the chip maker admitted these updates were causing certain computers to unexpectedly reboot.

The random reboots appear to be affecting both PCs and servers that use Intel Broadwell and Haswell processors.
