In light of the recent Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities, K2 Support can verify the following statement regarding K2 software:
The Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities allow exposure of data at kernel memory level. K2 software relies on the underlying operating system to handle this level of memory access. As such, no K2 software fixes exist to address these vulnerabilities. Please be sure to patch your operating systems and firmware accordingly.
