According to "Greg KH," co-maintainer of the 2.6.x.y series of important
stability and security fixes, the Linux kernel does not suffer [1] from the
much-hyped hyper threading vulnerability that affected the BSDs: " The
main reason there have not been any updates, is that there really isn't
a problem for the 2.6 kernel.
The original author has admited this
finally, no one was ever able to reproduce it on a 2.6 kernel. The only
reason I released a kernel update, was at the time, we thought there was
an off-chance that there was a problem. However in further testing, it
has not been the case." This confirms Linus's earler assertion[2].
