Useful information there. I have just followed the advice and updated the
kernel to the one with the fix.

Am I right in thinking this is a risk for those
of us who are foolishly
up to date with our debian, as I don't think the fixed kernel package
has released yet?
As that particular bug is not a security bug and there is a
workaround I don't think Debian are intending to push out an updated
package until the next sable point release, which I think is going
to be some time in September.
If you are currently running Debian stable (stretch) 64-bit and you
have upgraded your kernel to the latest package then you could do
one of the following:
- Add "pti=off" to your kernel command line. Normally accomplished
by adding it to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= line in
/etc/default/grub and then run update-grub.
- Grab an updated kernel package (4.9.110-3) from proposed-updates,
either by properly adding the proposed-updates repository as
described at <https://wiki.debian.org/StableProposedUpdates>, or
just installing the particular .deb which is
<http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/linux/
Also, if you have opted to have your VPS suspended and restored then
it won't actually be rebooted. Although it would obviously be best
to have your VPS always be in a bootable state.
If you are not running Debian stable, or are running 32-bit, you are
not affected by this bug.
Thanks for the info. I should be okay as I'm still 32bit.
Michael
