This update ships updated CPU microcode for some types of Intel CPUs and provides mitigations for the Special Register Buffer Data Sampling (CVE-2020-0543 ), Vector Register Sampling (CVE-2020-0548 ) and L1D Eviction Sampling (CVE-2020-0549 ) hardware vulnerabilities.
The microcode update for HEDT and Xeon CPUs with signature 0x50654 which was reverted in DSA 4565-2 is now included again with a fixed release.
The upstream update for Skylake-U/Y (signature 0x406e3) had to be excluded from this update due to reported hangs on boot.
