ios 10.3 fixes?

in macrumors article on spectre , meltdown write, "apple's statement not make clear if these vulnerabilities have been addressed in older versions of ios , mac, macs, there security updates older versions of macos released alongside macos 10.13.2, it's possible fixes available sierra , el capitan."

running pro tools on older macbook pro/el capitan , older mac mini/yosemite. when checked options updating os options offered sierra upgrade. don't want run sierra on either of these machines, have upgrade pro tools.

on related issue, i'm not interested in upgrading iphone se, ipad air or ipad 2017, i'm satisfied way run presently , don't want muck works.

there fixes offered without requiring upgrade latest , greatest os or ios?

 

while there (very) slight chance apple release upgrade ios 10.3 patch these vulnerabilities there 0 chance update made available devices supported in ios 11, iphone 5, 5c , ipad 4 only. assumption based on ios 6.1.6, released apple address heartbleed, made available devices not upgrade ios 7 (which received own patch heartbleed).
