Until the "untrusted code" patches the kernel.
- monocasa 8y agoAll of the meltdown/spectre mitigations will be added by un up to date kernel even without the BIOS doing it, during the normal boot up process. If untrusted code can patch the kernel after that, then it's already ten kinds of game over. Also, if this attacker can patch the kernel, then it can patch firmware, as they run at the same security context.
