Boot with "nopti" kernel option.
Is there any way to create like a live CD that could run the checks regardless of the installed OS? On my machine with the older 3.16 kernel, it showed not vulnerable, but is that the case or is it because the kernel was too old for the check to work properly? Further, something that can do some simple benchmarks to see how much the fixes will slow them down.
AFAIK, what the test does is look if the kernel has been patched, not really test for the vulnerability. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
