GitHub - speed47/spectre-meltdown-checker: Reptar, Downfall, Zenbleed, ZombieLoad, RIDL, Fallout, Foreshadow, Spectre, Meltdown vulnerability/mitigation checker for Linux & BSD reports potential hardware vulnerabilities for my AMD system but mitigations of Spectre V1 and V2 and Meltdown sufficient to consider the system not vulnerable.

There is a reason why to this tool a message was added informing that a false sense of security is worse than knowing a system is insecure. Today I tested this Spectre PoC on my patched Leap installation and the exploit worked.
