Please aprove an update for wheezy for the intel-microcode package
(non-free).
This Intel microcode update has been available on non-free testing, unstable
and wheezy-backports already for two months without issues.
It updates the microcode of very widely-used processors (Ivy-Bridge, Haswell
and Crystal Well Core i*, as well as Xeon E5-v2).
As usual, I do not know what specific errata these updates fix, Intel did
not disclose any information about it to the general public.
An update for wheezy stable is required so that:
1. users that have not installed the backports package (which was updated
two months ago) can receive up-to-date microcode.
2. an update for squeeze-backports can be uploaded.
Here's the changelog of the update:
intel-microcode (1.20140122.1) stable; urgency=low
