Bug Description
Hi,
Recently you would have been notified about CVE-2019-18660 via email to the linux-distros private mailing list. In short, it is a bug in the Spectre v2 class affecting powerpc.
We have developed some backports for supported Ubuntu kernels, and tested them in our lab. I will attach the patches shortly. Most of them should end up being identical to the versions in linux-stable, but the ones for Bionic are slightly different due to it using a 4.15 kernel.
Please get in touch with me or Michael Ellerman (powerpc maintainer) if you have any questions or if we can be of any assistance.
Kind regards,
Daniel
