    Debian Bug     : 1110983 1112168

    This update ships updated CPU microcode for some types of Intel CPUs and
    provides mitigations for security vulnerabilities which could result in
    privilege escalation or denial of service.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
    3.20250812.1~deb11u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your intel-microcode packages.
