Isilon and spectre/meltdown vulnerbilities
Hi,
As per article 516617 (link below) and the recent spectre/meltdown vulnerabilities, the article states the Isilon

Does anyone knows if any updates available for OneFS and BIOS or when it will be available to apply.

Hi Nirvik,
I don't have an exact date for you, but the support team with Isilon has been instructing people that the article you provided will be updated with more information as it is available. At this time, your best bet is to continue checking the article for further updates.

The key with meltdown is ability to execute local code on the hardware. If you only allow ssh access to trusted parties the only risk would be a remote exploit. I have no firsthand knowledge of EMC or OneFS development but given the fact that it borrows heavily from FreeBSD and, last I checked, they are still working on a patch I would expect a full mitigation to be a ways out. Unfortunately FreeBSD was left out of the embargo so they are still playing catch-up and it's likely that backports and/or testing will take some time.
