Description Sandro Bonazzola 2019-05-16 14:49:29 UTC
On Fedora based oVirt Node microcode_ctl is missing and on EL7 host there is no strict requirement on minimum version for this package.
In order to ensure latest microcode is available on the host, requiring it here.
This should help with getting updates for CVE-2018-12130,
CVE-2018-12126, CVE-2018-12127, CVE-2019-11091.

Comment 1 Pavel Novotny 2019-06-14 13:14:31 UTC
Verified in ovirt-host-4.3.3-1.el7ev.x86_64

microcode_ctl >= 2.1-47.2 is now required for RHEL-based ovirt-host:

# rpm -q ovirt-host{,-dependencies}
ovirt-host-4.3.3-1.el7ev.x86_64
ovirt-host-dependencies-4.3.3-1.el7ev.x86_64
# rpm -qR ovirt-host-dependencies | grep microcode_ctl
microcode_ctl >= 2.1-47.2
