Smith says Intel is moving forward with a "comprehensive" threat mitigation plan that includes operating system and firmware updates that will be made available in the next "few weeks." By the end of next week Intel says it expects to have issued updates for more than 90 percent of processor products introduced within the past five years. "We have been working to put together a combination of operating system updates on the broadly used operating systems and some firmware updates that we developed that are specific to the configuration and operation of our processor," said Smith in a conference call with analysts on Wednesday night. "That has all been developed with industry partners, tested with industry partners, working with OS vendors and with OEMs. We have been working at this for some time such that we'll be ready beginning in the next few days to start the deployment of the mitigations. It will probably take a few weeks before the mitigations we have in mind will all be available to customers." Intel is encouraging "computer users worldwide to utilize the automatic update functions of their operating systems and other computer software to ensure their systems are up-to-date." The company said the system updates are being made available by system manufacturers, operating system providers and others. "We have begun providing software and firmware updates to mitigate these exploits," said Intel in a document on the security exploits. "End users and systems administrators should check with their operating system vendors and system manufacturers, and apply any updates as soon as they are available." Intel said that for "malware to compromise security" using Spectre and Meltdow it must be running locally on a system. "Intel strongly recommends following good security practices that protect against malware in general, as that will also help protect against possible exploitation," Intel said. Intel said that many operating system vendors, public cloud service providers, device manufacturers and others have indicated that they have already updated their products and services. "Our approach to mitigation is that we look at this and we want to provide for Intel platforms the most comprehensive approach that we can such that we will offer the highest level of security for our users on Intel platforms," said Intel's Smith. Solution providers, for their part, said the exploits affect most modern processors and can be executed against mobile devices, desktops, laptops and servers running in cloud environments. All told, the flaw affects nearly every device an end user has or operates, said Michael Knight, president and CTO of Encore Technology Group, Greenville, S.C. Chip manufacturer AMD claims there is a "near zero risk" to AMD processors in regards to Spectre and Meltdown. In fact, AMD says it has no plans to issue operating system or firmware updates for its processors. "The security research team identified three variants targeting speculative execution," AMD said in a prepared statement. "The threat and the response to the three variants differ by microprocessor company, and AMD is not susceptible to all three variants. Due to differences in AMD's architecture, we believe there is a near zero risk to AMD processors at this time."
