Updated for:
Intel® Acceleration Stack for Intel® Xeon® CPU with FPGAs 1.0 Production

Please note that the Intel® Acceleration Stack for Intel® Xeon® CPU with FPGAs DOES NOT include mitigations for the exploits known as Spectre (CVE-2017-5753, CVE-2017-5715) and Meltdown (CVE-2017-5754). These exploits require that malware runs locally on the system, which is not normally possible in a closed environment where the system’s software is centrally controlled. Intel does not recommend that an un-mitigated version of the Intel® Acceleration Stack for Intel® Xeon® CPU with FPGAs be used in an environment that is not a closed system environment.
