General Discussion / How are OPNSense Firewalls affected by Meltdown and Spectre?
« on: March 05, 2018, 09:07:40 pm »
Hello!
I've bought a preconfigured OPNSense Firewall on Ebay.
This Firewall is based on an embedded computing mainboard and an embedded AMD processor, which is at least vulnerable for Spectre Version 1 (illegal execution by mistrained branch prediction circuit).
In which way is my OPNSense Firewall compromised by its CPU's vulnerability, in my case the Spectre Version 1 vulnerability?
