Comment 7 nicholas.garofolo 2016-12-02 13:38:12 UTC 
I see in the duplicate bug report that there is a new version of microcode_ctl - when will this be available?
Comment 8 nicholas.garofolo 2016-12-19 18:08:27 UTC 
May I have an update on when this will be GA? I see that it is fixed in the latest version (2-1-18). Also, will my name be included on the bug report as I was the first to submit? :)
Comment 9 nicholas.garofolo 2016-12-19 18:38:45 UTC 
I was able to test and confirm the package fixes the issue in our DR environment.

Nicholas,
Thank you for your testing!
I'm closing this bug now as Duplicate of bz1398698 as the underlying issue is the same. The package you have tested is planned for release in rhel-7.3.z channel under bz1402512. Thanks!
