Newly disclosed security flaws connected to the Intel and AMD chips used by Macs and PCs (and Linux boxes) are at the root of today's concern, and these vulnerabilities leave your system open to being hijacked by remote users. Both 32-bit and 64-bit Intel and AMD machines are affected, although ARM chips appear not to be. Oh, and PC users have two extra reasons to download updates, as dual critical flaws -- currently being exploited in the wild .

For Series 3.x your kernel is patched if you have version - 4.4.0-124.148 or above.

Series 2.x - unaffected.

In a terminal do:

Code:

uname -a

to verify your kernel version.
