While It's hard to repair these vulnerabilities, especially when it impacts an install base that's so big, you can fix variants in the OS, as Google and Amazon have done for Spectre,to eliminate the problem, or can alter the microcode of the microprocessor itself, but that may make the system slower.
Other designs employ microcode routines or tables(or both) to do this- typically as on-chip ROMs or PLAs or both(although separate RAMs and ROMs have been used historically).
