Do we have a general idea of the impact of the recent processor vulnerabilities to fortinet systems, specifically in my case a FortiADC 200D?  Do we have a timeframe of patches being available in the meantime?

    FortiClient 5.6.4 released today to address the Meltdown patch for Windows..

     

    My Windows10 is on fasttrack so I think I already got patched for Meltdown in the December build

    The Windows 10 patch for Meltdown isn't getting installed automatically on any Windows systems we have that are running FortiClient 5.6.3.  We're not running EMS.  Trying to run a local windows update says there aren't any updates.

     

    Per Microsoft's description of this at https://support.microsoft.com/sw-ke/help/4056892/windows-10-update-kb4056892 it might mean that MS is seeing FortiClient as AV software that isn't compatible with the patch.  But the registry key the KB refers to is properly set on those systems.

     

    Anybody else seeing issues with installing the Windows 10 patch (KB4056891 or KB4056892 I think) on systems with FortiClient 5.6.3?  Or anybody successfully installed the patch on Windows 10 systems with FortiClient 5.6.3?

    I upgraded to FortiClient 5.6.5 and I am still not receiving windows updates on Windows 10 systems that had a older version of FortiClient installed previously.  No new updates are being offered in Windows Update. The last updates that installed were from December 2017.  Both January and February updates are not being offered even though the required registry entry has been set.

     

    Anybody else not receiving Windows Updates?
