Thib Guicherd-Callin, LOCKSS Technical Manager, just published a useful analysis "Mitigation in LOCKSS Systems of Recently Disclosed Microprocessor
Vulnerabilities” to the LOCKSS Community. His guidance and the resources he sets out at the end of the post - including an article in David Rosenthal’s
blog - have relevance to anyone dealing with the CPU vulnerabilities “Meltdown”
and “Spectre”.
