Synopsis: Important: microcode_ctl security update Advisory ID: SLSA-2018:0093-1 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. -- SL6 x86_64 microcode_ctl-1.17-25.4.el6_9.x86_64.rpm microcode_ctl-debuginfo-1.17-25.4.el6_9.x86_64.rpm microcode_ctl-1.17-20.2.el6_7.x86_64.rpm microcode_ctl-debuginfo-1.17-20.2.el6_7.x86_64.rpm microcode_ctl-1.17-19.2.el6_6.x86_64.rpm microcode_ctl-debuginfo-1.17-19.2.el6_6.x86_64.rpm i386 microcode_ctl-1.17-25.4.el6_9.i686.rpm microcode_ctl-debuginfo-1.17-25.4.el6_9.i686.rpm SL7 x86_64 microcode_ctl-2.1-22.5.el7_4.x86_64.rpm microcode_ctl-debuginfo-2.1-22.5.el7_4.x86_64.rpm microcode_ctl-2.1-16.5.el7_3.x86_64.rpm microcode_ctl-debuginfo-2.1-16.5.el7_3.x86_64.rpm microcode_ctl-2.1-12.el7_2.3.x86_64.rpm microcode_ctl-debuginfo-2.1-12.el7_2.3.x86_64.rpm - Scientific Linux Development Team
