The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'intel-microcode' package(s) announced via the DLA-1789-2 advisory. Updated CPU microcode for most types of Intel CPUs provides mitigations for MSBDS, MFBDS, MLPDS, MDSUM hardware vulnerabilities. Debian 8 Jessie fixes the problems in version 3.20190514.1~deb8u1 of the intel-microcode package and Linux kernel updates described in DLA-1787-1. Upgrade intel-microcode and Linux kernel packages.

  script_tag(name:"insight", value:"This update ships updated CPU microcode for most types of Intel CPUs. It provides microcode support for the kernel to implement mitigations for the MSBDS, MFBDS, MLPDS and MDSUM hardware vulnerabilities.

To fully resolve these vulnerabilities it is also necessary to update the Linux kernel packages, which is the subject of DLA-1787-1.

For Debian 8 Jessie, these problems have been fixed in version 3.20190514.1~deb8u1 of the intel-microcode package, and also by the Linux kernel updates described in DLA-1787-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your intel-microcode packages, and Linux kernel packages.
