#10300: intel-microcode : 20180108 has been pulled
-------------------------+-------------------------
Reporter: ken@… | Owner: blfs-book@…
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.2
Component: BOOK | Version: SVN
Severity: normal | Keywords:

The link now goes to 20171117, so at the moment the text "As of this
writing the most recent version of the microcode is
microcode-20180108.tgz" is wrong.
Earlier, I saw on lkml that dmw's work re Spectre (v1, I think)
blacklisted microcode version 0x23 for Haswell. As noted yesterday, that
version has been flagged as "do not install" by intel.
Since the link works and there is not (yet) a newer version, changing the
book is not urgent. Perhaps newer versions will appear before we freeze
for 8.2.
