The initial microcode release by AMD only provides updates for second generation EPYC CPUs: Various Ryzen CPUs are also affected, but no updates are available yet. Fixes will be provided in a later update once they are released.

For more specific details and target dates please refer to the AMD advisory at [link moved to references]

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 3.20230719.1+deb10u1. Additionally the update contains a fix for CVE-2019-9836.

We recommend that you upgrade your amd64-microcode packages.

For the detailed security status of amd64-microcode please refer to its security tracker page at: [link moved to references]
