Finalement, j'ai pu faire une mise à jour du bios via internet directement à partir du bios. Je n'ai pas eu de problème pour redémarrer ubuntu 17.10.
Pour ce qui est du contrôle des vulnérabilités voici:
sudo sh spectre-meltdown-checker.sh
Spectre and Meltdown mitigation detection tool v0.37+
Checking for vulnerabilities on current system
Kernel is Linux 4.13.0-39-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 5 14:25:01 UTC 2018 x86_64
CPU is Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7400 CPU @ 3.00GHz
Hardware check
* Hardware support (CPU microcode) for mitigation techniques
* Indirect Branch Restricted Speculation (IBRS)
* SPEC_CTRL MSR is available: YES
* CPU indicates IBRS capability: YES (SPEC_CTRL feature bit)
* Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier (IBPB)
* PRED_CMD MSR is available: YES
* CPU indicates IBPB capability: YES (SPEC_CTRL feature bit)
* Single Thread Indirect Branch Predictors (STIBP)
* SPEC_CTRL MSR is available: YES
* CPU indicates STIBP capability: YES (Intel STIBP feature bit)
* Enhanced IBRS (IBRS_ALL)
* CPU indicates ARCH_CAPABILITIES MSR availability: NO
* ARCH_CAPABILITIES MSR advertises IBRS_ALL capability: NO
* CPU explicitly indicates not being vulnerable to Meltdown (RDCL_NO): NO
* CPU microcode is known to cause stability problems: NO (model 158 stepping 9 ucode 0x84 cpuid 0x906e9)
* CPU vulnerability to the three speculative execution attack variants
* Vulnerable to Variant 1: YES
* Vulnerable to Variant 2: YES
* Vulnerable to Variant 3: YES
CVE-2017-5753 [bounds check bypass] aka 'Spectre Variant 1'
* Mitigated according to the /sys interface: YES (Mitigation: OSB (observable speculation barrier, Intel v6))
* Kernel has array_index_mask_nospec (x86): NO
* Kernel has the Red Hat/Ubuntu patch: YES
* Kernel has mask_nospec64 (arm): NO
> STATUS: NOT VULNERABLE (Mitigation: OSB (observable speculation barrier, Intel v6))
CVE-2017-5715 [branch target injection] aka 'Spectre Variant 2'
* Mitigated according to the /sys interface: YES (Mitigation: Full generic retpoline, IBPB (Intel v4))
* Mitigation 1
* Kernel is compiled with IBRS support: YES
* IBRS enabled and active: NO
* Kernel is compiled with IBPB support: YES
* IBPB enabled and active: YES
* Mitigation 2
* Kernel has branch predictor hardening (arm): NO
* Kernel compiled with retpoline option: YES
* Kernel compiled with a retpoline-aware compiler: YES (kernel reports full retpoline compilation)
* Kernel supports RSB filling: YES
> STATUS: NOT VULNERABLE (Full retpoline + IBPB are mitigating the vulnerability)
CVE-2017-5754 [rogue data cache load] aka 'Meltdown' aka 'Variant 3'
* Mitigated according to the /sys interface: YES (Mitigation: PTI)
* Kernel supports Page Table Isolation (PTI): YES
* PTI enabled and active: YES
* Reduced performance impact of PTI: YES (CPU supports INVPCID, performance impact of PTI will be greatly reduced)
* Running as a Xen PV DomU: NO
> STATUS: NOT VULNERABLE (Mitigation: PTI)
A false sense of security is worse than no security at all, see --disclaimer
