"Security Fix(es) :

  - An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern
    microprocessor designs have implemented speculative
    execution of Load & Store instructions (a commonly
    used performance optimization). It relies on the
    presence of a precisely-defined instruction sequence in
    the privileged code as well as the fact that memory read
    from address to which a recent memory write has occurred
    may see an older value and subsequently cause an update
    into the microprocessor's data cache even for
    speculatively executed instructions that never actually
    commit (retire). As a result, an unprivileged attacker
    could use this flaw to read privileged memory by
    conducting targeted cache side-channel attacks.
    (CVE-2018-3639)

Note: This issue is present in hardware and cannot be fully fixed via
software update. The updated kernel packages provide software side of
the mitigation for this hardware issue. To be fully functional,
up-to-date CPU microcode applied on the system is required. Please
refer to References section for further information about this issue,
CPU microcode requirements and the potential performance impact.

In this update mitigations for x86-64 architecture are provided."
