    Debian Bug     : 1110983

    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 the oldstable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed
    in version 3.20250812.1~deb12u1.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in
    version 3.20250812.1~deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your intel-microcode packages.

    For the detailed security status of intel-microcode please refer to its
    security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/intel-microcode

    Further information about Debian Security Advisories, how to apply
    these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be
