Synopsis
microcode_ctl enhancement update
Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated microcode_ctl packages that add one enhancement are now available for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The microcode_ctl packages provide utility code and microcode data to assist the
kernel in updating the CPU microcode at system boot time. This microcode
supports all current x86-based, Intel 64-based, and AMD64-based CPU models. It
takes advantage of the mechanism built-in to Linux that allows microcode to be
updated after a system boot. When loaded, the updated microcode corrects the
behavior of various processors, as described in processor specification updates
issued by Intel and AMD for those processors.
This update adds the following enhancement:
- The Intel CPU microcode file has been updated to version 20130808.
(BZ#1002446)
All users running x86-based, Intel 64-based or AMD64-based CPU models are
advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which add this enhancement.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
