About your Meltdown (security vulnerability) edit

Thank you for fixing and clearing language the "Mechanism" section. I am not a native speaker, and it apparently showed. One remark though, probably about my lack of precision in writing. The protected kernel memory (Linux and partially Windows) is mapped into the user address space, and is vulnerable to this exploit. Your corrections changed the meaning to "kernel space is safe", which is not true, and is the whole point of this vulnerability Szafranpl (talk) 19:08, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
