Sebelum mengeluarkan update untuk mengatasi Spectre, Apple telah terlebih dahulu mengeluarkan update untuk kerentanan Meltdown di iOS 11.2 dan macOS 10.13.2.
Kini, update untuk mengatasi celah keamanan Spectre, iOS 11.2.2 dan macOS High Sierra 10.13.2 telah dirilis. Keduanya sudah tersedia untuk diunduh dan dipasang ke perangkat yang didukung oleh perangkat lunak tersebut.
Safari juga telah diupdate dengan 11.0.2 di MacOS Sierra 10.12.6 dan OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 untuk tujuan yang sama.
Penting untuk dicatat, bahwa kerentanan terhadap Spectre sedang dikurangi, bukan diperbaiki, dengan solusi berbasis Safari, karena masalah celah keamanan tersebut berhubungan dengan arsitektur CPU dan bukan masalah perangkat lunak.
Spectre adalah sebuah kode yang menyerang keamanan perangkat keras yang memanfaatkan celah mekanisme prosesor yang berpotensi memungkinkan peretas mendapat akses ke informasi data sensitif pengguna, demikian dilansir dari GSM Arena.
