reverted to the previous packaged microcode version, the 20170707 release.

Original advisory details:

 It was discovered that microprocessors utilizing speculative execution
 and branch prediction may allow unauthorized memory reads via sidechannel
 attacks. This flaw is known as Spectre. A local attacker could use this to
 expose sensitive information, including kernel memory. (CVE-2017-5715)

 This update provides the microcode updates required for the corresponding
 Linux kernel updates.");
