Hello gaucho, use a custom kernel ...

Distro Live/CD.

CVE-2017-5754 [rogue data cache load] aka 'Meltdown' aka 'Variant 3'
* Kernel supports Page Table Isolation (PTI):  NO
* PTI enabled and active:  NO
* Running as a Xen PV DomU:  NO
> STATUS:  VULNERABLE  (PTI is needed to mitigate the vulnerability)
Microsoft

Code: Select all

The existing 32 bit update packages listed in this advisory fully address CVE-2017-5753 and CVE-2017-5715, but do not provide protections for CVE-2017-5754 at this time. Microsoft is continuing to work with affected chip manufacturers and investigate the best way to provide mitigations for x86 customers, which may be provided in a future update.
No information for x86-based systems ...
