  script_tag(name:"insight", value:"USN-4385-1 provided updated Intel Processor Microcode. Unfortunately,
that update prevented certain processors in the Intel Skylake family
(06_4EH) from booting successfully. Additionally, on Ubuntu 20.04
LTS, late loading of microcode was enabled, which could lead to
system instability. This update reverts the microcode update for
the Skylake processor family and disables the late loading option on
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

Please note that the 'dis_ucode_ldr' kernel command line option can be
added in the boot menu to disable microcode loading for system recovery.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

 It was discovered that memory contents previously stored in
 microarchitectural special registers after RDRAND, RDSEED, and SGX EGETKEY
 read operations on Intel client and Xeon E3 processors may be briefly
 exposed to processes on the same or different processor cores. A local
 attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2020-0543)

 It was discovered that on some Intel processors, partial data values
 previously read from a vector register on a physical core may be propagated
 into unused portions of the store buffer. A local attacker could possible
 use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2020-0548)

 It was discovered that on some Intel processors, data from the most
 recently evicted modified L1 data cache (L1D) line may be propagated into
 an unused (invalid) L1D fill buffer. A local attacker could possibly use
 this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2020-0549)");
