I could not find any official Ubuntu information on that issue. If I check the official statement: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/KnowledgeBase/SpectreAndMeltdown there is only information on Ubuntu 17.10 and earlier. Is it possible to complete the "Kernel Mitigations" table on the wiki web page mensioned above with the Ubunut 18.04 LTS?

(4.15.0 and higher kernels are all patched for this already) – Thomas Ward Nov 11 '18 at 00:25

All "Kernel Mitigations" available starting from 17.10 is valid for 18.04 and 18.10.

Official Ubuntu blog confirms it - https://blog.ubuntu.com/2018/01/04/ubuntu-updates-for-the-meltdown-spectre-vulnerabilities
