However, this stable update was not exactly rushed in the sense that the new package really just changes docs and a data file, so it has negligible chance of extra breakage when compared to what is already in p-u.

Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian@packages.debian.org Usertags: pu Dear stable release manager(s), Please authorize an update of intel-microcode for wheezy, to version 1.20130906.1. Intel released yet another microcode update. I don't have much data about this one, but it basically updates the Nehalem Embedded Xeons (that were left out by Intel in the 20130808 update currently in proposed-updates), and the new Haswell non-Xeon processors. The Embedded Xeon updates are very likely to be for the same reason all other Core i* and their Xeon counterparts were updated, i.e. the security issues and data corruption bugs. There is not much data on the Haswell processors' update, however there is some stuff marked as It is possible for the BIOS to contain a fix for this issue in their spec updates, and that's Intel lingo for fixed by a microcode update, it is a fair guess that it addresses some or all of those errata. The package also fixes an old (Debian) issue, where microcode for the very old Xeon processors with Nocona core was not being shipped for the amd64 arch. Anyway, the diff for the proposed packages to update stable is attached. This is a diff from the packages *already* in proposed-updates. Most of the diff is documentation (changelog) changes. There are NO script/code changes. As usual, I've left out the hunk for the upstream microcode data file change, as it is enourmous and doesn't show anything useful. Thank you!
