spectre meltdown

Is there any hope to get patches for spectre meltdown on tab s2?

maybe and maybe not.. all depends on Samsung and if they care about the customers .

I'd think LineageOS would get patches via AOSP so if you're rooted you could go that route. That's what I'm researching anyway. Havent come across official word from Samsung but some unofficial stuff I've seen insinuates the Tab S2 won't be getting a patch from ol' Sammy. This might not be so bad if an 8" version of the Tab S3 existed.

Found this interesting article. I wonder if the "L Refresh" is the 2016 refresh?

Probably

LÖRLZ You cereals? Samsung didnt even release patches yet for WPA2 Krack. Even though, they say somewhere on their site, the Tab S2 is marked as quarter based security updates. But there was none for Q4 2017 so far. Besides, I totally dont want any spectre meltdown fixed on my Tab S2, if it renders it into a slow brick.

Well, LOS has these patches for sure as soon as available. ^^ Luckily we have LOS for it

Does anyone know of any Rom that has the patches that might work on t810? Can't seem to find one.

Tab s2 got updated today to January 1 2018 security update. This update most likely has the spectre meltdown patches and the wp2 vulnerability patched.
