Hope you are doing fine:

Also please consider that spectre and meltdown are CPU microcode vulnerabilities so patching your firmware alongside with ESXi, OS and Apps is the recommended path forward (whenever possible)

Warm regards!

Thank you, but I need the exact day that the patches wrote by VMware. How long did it take?
