I need a clarification on how below SQL Server service pack patching works.
Few of my servers are at below patch for SQL Server 2014 which has latest meltdown patch
12.00.5214
2014.120.5214.6
4057120 Security update for SQL Server 2014 Service Pack 2 GDR: January 16, 2018 – Security Advisory ADV180002 CVE-2017-5715 CVE-2017-5753 CVE-2017-5754
and some with below
12.00.5532
2014.120.5532.0
3194718 MS16-136: Description of the security update for SQL Server 2014 Service Pack 2 CU: November 8, 2016
2014.120.5532.0
version seems to be on higher build than one 2014.120.5214.6
but that patch seems old when checked as published in OCT 2016.
Do I still need to apply meltdown patch for those servers with build 2014.120.5532.0
or are they covered for meltdown.
Need some better understanding on this.
