    Package : intel-microcode
    CVE ID : CVE-2020-24489 CVE-2020-24511 CVE-2020-24512 CVE-2020-24513

    This update ships updated CPU microcode for some types of Intel CPUs and provides mitigations for security vulnerabilities which could result in privilege escalation in combination with VT-d and various side channel
    attacks.

    For the stable distribution (buster), these problems have been fixed in
    version 3.20210608.2~deb10u1.

    Note that there are two reported regressions; for some CoffeeLake CPUs
    this update may break iwlwifi (https://github.com/intel/Intel-Linux-Processor-Microcode-Data-Files/issues/56) and some for Skylake R0/D0 CPUs on systems using a very outdated firmware/BIOS, the system may hang on boot: (https://github.com/intel/Intel-Linux-Processor-Microcode-Data-Files/issues/31)

    If you are affected by those issues, you can recover by disabling microcode loading on boot (as documented in README.Debian (also available online at https://salsa.debian.org/hmh/intel-microcode/-/blob/master/debian/README.Debian))

    We recommend that you upgrade your intel-microcode packages.

    its security tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/intel-microcode
