Can any one help me What Kernel Version to be Upgraded or considered for Ubuntu 'm using Ubuntu 14.04 with Linux version 3.16.0-30-generic in mitigating Spectre & Meltdown. Followed the advisory link updates however i couldn't find. We are not in favor of doing distr upgrades hence we wanted to stick to the same parent version level.
Can any one help me in understanding the steps here. Thanks much.
