*Note: This project is currently not maintained. Mitigation status for CVE-2017-5753 in IE or Edge is not properly displayed, if you installed the recent Windows updates. MeltdownSpectreReport lacks also of report of newer speculative execution vulnerabilities like L1TF. Microsoft updated their SpeculationControl module, which I recommend to use. *

MeltdownSpectreReport

Query mitigation status of Meltdown and Spectre against one or multiple Windows computers. It uses parallelization for fast data collection.

Report includes

  • Mitigation status for CVE-2017-5754 in Windows
  • Mitigation status for CVE-2017-5715 in Windows
  • Mitigation status for CVE-2017-5753 in Edge
  • Mitigation status for CVE-2017-5753 in IE
  • Mitigation status for CVE-2017-5753 in Chrome
  • Mitigation status for CVE-2017-5753 in Firefox
  • Information to assess the risk (CPU, Hyper-V, Terminal Server, Docker)
  • Information for troubleshooting (Hardware Manufacturer and Model, Registry Keys, Uptime, Installed Hotfixes, ...)

It requires PowerShell 2.0 or later and PSRemoting enabled on remote systems.

The script includes Get-SpeculationControlSettings from Microsoft and Invoke-Parallel from RamblingCookieMonster. All credits for these functions go to them. Thank you!

Properties

Mitigation Status

This highly relies on the information from Spectre still unfixed, unlike what Intel says and CPU security bugs caused by speculative execution. I highly recommend to read them.

Note: Not every mitigation, especially for CVE-2017-5753, is of the same quality. As the root cause relies in the CPU, all these mitigations are not really a fix to the actual problem. Mitigation means, it's "more difficult to exploit", and not every mitigation makes it equally difficult. The report only knows true or false for the mitigation. true is usually considered as "as good mitigated as currently possible"

CVE-2017-5754 mitigated (aka Meltdown)

Is true if CVE-2017-5754 mitigated if KVAShadowRequired is false, or if both, KVAShadowWindowsSupportPresent and KVAShadowWindowsSupportEnabled are true. The test are actually done by Get-SpeculationControlSettings].

CVE-2017-5715 mitigated (aka Spectre Variant 2)

Is true if BTIHardwarePresent, BTIWindowsSupportPresent, and BTIWindowsSupportEnabled are true. The test are actually done by Get-SpeculationControlSettings]

Is empty if IE was not found.

CVE-2017-5753 mitigated in Chrome (aka Spectre Variant 1)

Is true if C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe is version >=64, or 63 and Site Isolation is enabled by policy.

See Google’s Mitigations Against CPU Speculative Execution Attack Methods, Actions Required to Mitigate Speculative Side-Channel Attack Techniques for details.

Read more about Site Isolation and enable if desired as follows:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\SitePerProcess is 1.

See also Policy List/SitePerProcess.

Is empty if Chrome was not found.

CVE-2017-5753 mitigated in Firefox (aka Spectre Variant 1)

See Mitigations landing for new class of timing attack for details.

Is empty if Firefox was not found.

Firefox Rapid Release:

Is true if C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe or C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe is version >=57.0.4

Firefox ESR Release:

Is true if C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe or C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe is version >=52.6.0 and < 53.0.0

Note: Mozilla has not released a fully patched version of Firefox ESR. However, the ESR is less susceptible to Spectre than the Rapid release. The Spectre vulnerability mitigation is due with the release of ESR 52.6.0 (expected 1/23/18.) See Mitigations landing for new class of timing attack for details

Roles

isHyperV

Is true if vmms (Hyper-V Management) Service is running.

Hypervisors are at increased risk.

isTerminalServer

Is true if TerminalServerMode is 1.

Terminal Servers (Remote Desktop Servers) are at increased risk.

isDocker

Is true if PATH system variable contains docker (which is the default).

Container hoster are at increased risk.

SpeculationControlSettings

BTI*

BTI is Branch Target Injection as described in CVE-2017-5715 alias Spectre (Variant 2).

This vulnerability requires always a microcode update for the CPU, which will be offered by the hardware OEM.

These properties might give you further insights, why CVE-2017-5715 mitigated is false.

KVA*

KVA or Kernel VA (also known as KPTI (Kernel page-table isolation) or KAISER) removes the mapping of kernel memory in user space process and thus mitigates the practical explotation of CVE-2017-5754 alias Meltdown.

KVAShadowPcidEnabled is an optimization, not a requirement for security.

These properties might give you further insights, why CVE-2017-5754 mitigated is false.

Registry Keys

OSMitigationRegKeySet

As per Windows Server guidance to protect against speculative execution side-channel vulnerabilities:

Customers need to enable mitigations to help protect against speculative execution side-channel vulnerabilities.

Enabling these mitigations may affect performance. The actual performance impact will depend on multiple factors, such as the specific chipset in your physical host and the workloads that are running. Microsoft recommends that customers assess the performance impact for their environment and make necessary adjustments.

OSMitigationRegKeySet is true if the values for the registry key Memory Management are set as required, i.e. FeatureSettingsOverride is 0 and FeatureSettingsOverrideMask is 3. OSMitigationRegKeySet is empty if the computer is a client.

To create the required values, you can use the following PowerShell commands:

New-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management' -PropertyType 'DWORD' -Value '0'  -Name 'FeatureSettingsOverride'
New-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management' -PropertyType 'DWORD' -Value '3'  -Name 'FeatureSettingsOverrideMask'

Note: This is not required for Clients.

AVCompatibility

As per Important information regarding the Windows security updates released on January 3, 2018 and anti-virus software, the security updates are only installed, if the registry value cadca5fe-87d3-4b96-b7fb-a231484277cc is present in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\QualityCompat.

The value is either set by the the installed Anti-Virus, or must be set manually if no Anti-Virus is installed.

To add the value manually, you can use the following line of PowerShell:

New-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\QualityCompat' -Name 'cadca5fe-87d3-4b96-b7fb-a231484277cc' -PropertyType DWord -Value '0x00000000'

Note: Only use this command, if you don't have any Anti-Virus installed, or verified that it's compatible!

MinVmVersionForCpuBasedMitigations

If Hyper-V is installed, an additional Registry value has to be taken care of. MinVmVersionForCpuBasedMitigations is the value of the minimum supported VM version for CVE-2017-5715 fix of VM guests. If Hyper-V is not active, it's empty.

From Protecting guest virtual machines from CVE-2017-5715 (branch target injection)

By default, virtual machines with a VM version below 8.0 will not have access to updated firmware capabilities required to mitigate CVE-2017-5715. Because VM version 8.0 is only available starting with Windows Server 2016, users of Windows Server 2012 R2 or earlier must modify a specific registry value on all machines in their cluster.

To give every VM version access to the updated firmware capabilities, you can use the following PowerShell code:

if ((Get-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Virtualization' -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).MinVmVersionForCpuBasedMitigations) {
    Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Virtualization' -Name MinVmVersionForCpuBasedMitigations -Value '1.0'
}
else {
    New-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Virtualization' -Name MinVmVersionForCpuBasedMitigations -PropertyType String -Value '1.0'
}

*Note: A cold reboot of each VM is required. Rebooting the OS from inside the Guest is not sufficient to make the setting effective. You have to Turn the machine off and on again.

This can be considered as the Hyper-V Guest equivalent to "microcode CPU update from hardware OEM".
