Subject: F00F bug *fixed* in 2.0.x kernels Date: 14 Nov 1997 07:27:58 GMT From: set-usenet-879492588@reality.samiam.org (Sam Trenholme) Organization: Linux reality.samiam.org 2.0.30 #2 Mon Sep 15 1997 i686 unknown Newsgroups: comp.os.linux.development.system, comp.os.linux.advocacy, comp.os.linux.misc Linux 2.0.x users: The Linux developers have, again, done the impossible. Within seven days of the serious FOOF bug in the Pentium being discovered, the kernel developers have not only figured out a software fix for the problem, but have patches for *both* the 2.1.63 and the 2.0.31 kernels which make Linux immune to the F00F bug. The patch for the F00F bug successfully works on the latest pre-2.0.32 version. As I type these words on my Pentium Linux laptop, the sequence F0 0F C7 C8 is being run over and over again in an infinite loop. In order to download this patch, get the following files: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.0/linux-2.0.31.tar.gz ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/testing/pre-patch-2.0.32-4.gz.maybe To patch the new kernel: cd /usr/src/ mv linux linux.old tar xvzf linux-2.0.31.tar.gz cd linux gunzip -dc /?/pre-patch-2.0.32-4.gz.maybe |patch -p1 -s -N -E -d /usr/src/linux where /?/ is the location of where you downloaded pre-patch-2.0.32-4.gz.maybe Compiling a new kernel is described in any good book on Linux, or in the appropriate HOWTO. People using PCMCIA will also need to download and recompile the pcmcia suite. Look here: ftp://cb-iris.stanford.edu/pub/pcmcia/pcmcia-cs-2.9.11.tar.gz Applause to the kernel development team, who so quickly found and implemented a fix to this problem. - Sam --
