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
