Will there be a kernel update soon for Mageia 5 mitigating against the Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities?
I'm running an AMD FX6300 Black Edition 6 Core CPU in a Gigabyte 970A-DS3P Motherboard. My Mageia 5.1 distro is using kernel 4.4.105-desktop-1.mga5. While it seems that AMD chips are largely unffected by the Meltdown vulnerability, they are for the Spectre one. Running the spectre-meltdown-checker https://github.com/speed47/spectre-meltdown-checker on this kernel indicates Vulnerable status on CVE-2017-5753 (Spectre Variant 1) - but not Vulnerable on CVE-2017-5715 (Spectre Variant 2) or CVE-2017-5754 (Meltdown or Variant 3).
This status above also affects, as you might expect, kernel modules present on my machine: 3.19.8-desktop-3.mga5, 4.4.30-desktop-2.mga5 and 4.4.92-desktop-1.mga5.
For a normal home system - what ramifications will the above vulnerability have for my system? Where will any possible exploit come from?
