This video builds on the last videos in this series of Hancock’s VMware Half Hour, where we continue to build our VMware vSphere 7.0 Lab, and in this video, we start to explore the Warning messages appearing on several of our hosts in the cluster.

If you see the Warning message This host is potentially vulnerable to issues described in CVE-2018-3646. please refer to http://kb.vmware.com/s/article/55636 for details and VMware recommendations KB 55636. then this secuerity fix is required for your VMware vSphere Hypervsior (ESXi 7.0) host.

In this video, I will show you HOW TO: FIX VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi) Host vulnerability L1 Terminal Fault’ (L1TF) Speculative-Execution in Intel processors: CVE-2018-3646, CVE-2018-3620, and CVE-2018-3615.

Modern Intel CPU do not suffer this issue, but earlier processors do have these security issues, in March 2018, security issues were detected in Intel processors called Meltdown, Spectre and L1 Terminal Fault.
