Actually CVE-2020-8694 seems to be about kernel side changes only so I don't 
know
why that is listed in the changelog for microcode. As reference Ubuntu security
details for CVE-2020-8694:

https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2020/CVE-2020-8694.html

"Insufficient access control in the Linux kernel driver for some
Intel(R) Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially
enable information disclosure via local access.
...
Mitigation
Restrict permissions on the affected sysfs entries:

$ sudo find /sys/devices/virtual/powercap/ -name energy_uj -exec chmod 400 {} 
\;"

and fixed by kernel updates:
