Description Eugene Syromiatnikov 2021-06-10 19:24:33 UTC
microcode-20210608 brings the 06-8c-01 microcode back, and it seems that it is expected not to cause hangs anymore.

Note that the new microcode is needed to protect from CVE-2020-24489 (Important), CVE-2020-24511 (Moderate), and CVE-2020-24512 (Low).

Comment 6 Jeff Bastian 2021-08-11 21:10:24 UTC
microcode_ctl-20210608-1.el8 passed regression testing, and it is in sync with the most recent update from upstream (the 2021-06-08 release).  It also re-enables 06-8c-01 updates by default.
