Topic
Updated microcode_ctl packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.
Description
The microcode_ctl packages provide microcode updates for Intel and AMD processors.
This update fixes the following bug:
- The microcode_ctl package attempts a live update of the CPU's microcode during the package installation. On certain CPU models (Intel Xeon v4, family 6, model 79), updating microcode_ctl could previously cause the system to become unresponsive or reboot instantly. As a consequence, this could leave the system in an unbootable state and with duplicate packages in the RPM database. To fix this bug, the live update is skipped on the affected CPU models, and the described problem no longer occurs. (BZ#1402512)
Users of microcode_ctl are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug. Note: a system reboot is necessary for this update to take effect.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
