Dear all, ICANN is aware of the Spectre (CVE-2017-5753[cve.mitre.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__cve.mitre.org_cgi-2Dbin...> and CVE-2017-5715[cve.mitre.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__cve.mitre.org_cgi-2Dbin...>) and Meltdown (CVE-2017-5754[cve.mitre.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__cve.mitre.org_cgi-2Dbin...>) security vulnerabilities that were widely reported on 3 January 2018. To date, ICANN has observed no indications of attempts to exploit these vulnerabilities by targeting online systems or services operated by ICANN or Public Technical Identifiers (PTI). Meltdown and Spectre are affecting a range of computer processors. As is the case for most organizations, ICANN's IT infrastructure uses systems affected by these vulnerabilities. We are working to address these issues as quickly as possible by applying the relevant patches and updates made available by vendors. The ICANN Information Technology team continuously monitors our systems for any evidence of attempts to compromise the services we provide and the systems used to provide them. ICANN will continue to track these issues and will provide updates if any significant changes occur.
