“This was not good. Intel really messed up on this,” Kroah-Hartman said.

Intel Responds
To Intel’s credit, Kroah-Hartman said that after Linux kernel developers complained
loudly to the company in December 2017 and into January 2018,
it fixed its disclosure process for future Meltdown- and Spectre-related vulnerabilities.

With the most recent variant of Meltdown and Spectre, which has been dubbed
Foreshadow and was publicly disclosed on Aug. 14, Kroah-Hartman said
Linux kernel developers were properly notified ahead of time, so that fixes
could be made in a collaborative way by the Linux community.

“Intel has gotten better at this,” he said.

An interesting side effect of the Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities is that
Linux and Windows developers are now working together,
since both operating systems face similar risks from the CPU vulnerabilities.

“Windows and Linux kernel developers now have this wonderful back channel.
We’re talking to each other and we’re fixing bugs for each other,” Kroah-Hartman said.
“We are working well together. We have always wanted that.”
