First, you might want to check whether your system is vulnerable.
Mr. Meowski, on a local LUG ML pointed out this;
If anyone wants to check their (linux) system specifically for the
current state of spectre+meltdown mitigation on a given machine then
have a look here:
https://github.com/speed47/spectre-meltdown-checker
Really simple instructions are as follows:
cd [to some directory where you want to keep this]
wget meltdown.ovh -O spectre-meltdown-checker.sh
cat spectre-meltdown-checker.sh
chmod +x spectre-meltdown-checker.sh
sudo ./spectre-meltdown-checker.sh
