9.1.0
Issue: MDS-based exploits and vulnerabilities on Intel® CPUs. Solution: With MWG 9.1, the administrator can start an appliance with an option to disable the use of hyper-threading, which mitigates some vulnerabilities. This action can be done for appliances that use hyper-threading, such as the 4500-C, 5500-C, and -D. You can't enable it on the WBG-5000-C models where the relevant microcode is not available yet. See the MWG 9.1 Installation Guide for details.
