Hi Community,
I am generating a report in our org and i need to gather as much info as possible regarding Spectre & Meltdown affecting Centos 6 & 7.
So, it will help me a lot if you guys can point out to any link or useful posts in the forum;
Additionally if it is possible i would like to get a list of all vulnerable kernel versions for centos 6 & 7. or at least a way to look on how to get such data.
the web is full of information that overlaps and not accurate sometimes.

The TL;DR version: run yum update and get up to date. Reboot.

The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
