How to check if Zenbleed mitigation(chicken bit) is properly set?
I'm a newb and ran the recommended mitigation code to set a chicken bit on my processor. After running it there was no indication that it worked. Is there a simple way to use rdmsr to check?

Thanks, it works. That's a bit worrying.
Do you think Ubuntu 22.04 will get the security update soon? I got a microcode update today but i think that's only a fix for server cpus and not desktop cpus.
For anyone having permission problems turn off secure boot in order for this to work.
Microcode fixes the issue as of 3 days ago
I thought that was only for Eypc processors with desktop processor fixes coming later this year. The articles are not very clear with what is fixed when.
I also read that fixes are being released now for the high-end chips, but the desktop fixes will be released significantly later
