  • 1.  Intel meltdown and specter

    Posted Jan 04, 2018 02:01 PM

    Buenas tardes, con la noticia que esta dando vuelta ultimamente sobre el problema de seguridad de los procesadores, Microsoft dio una " solucion "  la cual dicen que hay que consultar con los administradores de antivirus para saber si es compatible, ya que hace una modificacion en el registro 
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4056897/windows-7-update-kb4056897
    Mi pregunta es si esta solucion es compatible y no va a tener ningun problema con symantec 


    Muchas gracias a todos

    Hello,

    These new packages will be available on the 17th January 2018 (subject to change) over Symantec Fileconnect, as a new build-version and fix both issues on Windows OS which are not Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.

    • These builds will follow all the normal supported upgrade paths and migration steps associated with moving to a new version of the product
    • The 12.1 hotfix will be based off of 12.1 RU6 MP9
    • Client patches will be available for the hotfix releases (similar to: http://www.symantec.com/docs/INFO4642)
    • LiveUpdate will NOT be used to distribute the hotfix

    Regards,
