Synopsis:          Important: linux-firmware security update
Advisory ID:       SLSA-2018:0094-1
Issue Date:        2018-01-16
CVE Numbers:       CVE-2017-5715
--

This update supersedes the previous microcode update provided with the
CVE-2017-5715 (Spectre) CPU branch injection vulnerability mitigation.
Further testing has uncovered problems with the microcode provided along
with the Spectre mitigation that could lead to system instabilities.

As a result, this microcode update reverts to the last known good
microcode version dated before 03 January 2018.

You should contact your hardware provider for the latest microcode updates.

IMPORTANT: If you are using Intel Skylake-, Broadwell-, and Haswell-based
platforms, obtain and install updated microcode from your hardware
vendor immediately. The "Spectre" mitigation requires both an updated
kernel and updated microcode from your hardware vendor.
