Intel has rolled out a press release stating that it has successfully developed and issued updates for all types of Intel-based computer systems — including personal computers and servers — that render those systems immune from both exploits (referred to as “Spectre” and “Meltdown”) reported by Google Project Zero and all 3 known attack variants.

Since the bug was reported back in June of last year, the companies have had ample time to prepare their defenses before information about the security flaw was revealed to the public. However, the information dissemination happened a little bit prematurely and there were concerns that the companies might not have had time to fully patch things over. Thankfully, it appears that’s not the case as Intel has already rolled out updates which it states make it “immune to the Meltdown and Spectre exploits.
