Toujours pour la correction de Spectre, Intel fait un retour arrière et demande aux distributions de revenir sur un vieux microcode, pour deux CPU :
- sig 0x000406f1, pf_mask 0xef, 2017-11-18, rev 0xb000025, size 27648
- sig 0x000506c9, pf_mask 0x03, 2017-11-22, rev 0x002e, size 16384

Le microcode de Novembre 2017 doit être remplacé par celui de mars 2017 :

intel-microcode 3.20180108.1 source package in Ubuntu

      sig 0x000906eb, pf_mask 0x02, 2018-01-04, rev 0x0080, size 98304
    + Implements IBRS/IBPB support and enhances LFENCE: mitigation
      against Spectre (CVE-2017-5715)
    + Very likely fixes several other errata on some of the processors
  * supplementary-ucode-CVE-2017-5715.d/: remove.
    + Downgraded microcodes:
      sig 0x000406f1, pf_mask 0xef, 2017-03-01, rev 0xb000021, size 26624
      sig 0x000506c9, pf_mask 0x03, 2017-03-25, rev 0x002c, size 16384
    + This removes IBRS/IBPB support for these two platforms when compared
      with the previous (and unofficial) release, 20171215.  We don't know
      why Intel declined to include these microcode updates (as well as
      several others) in the release.
  * source: remove superseded upstream data file: 20171117
  * README.Debian, copyright: update download URLs (closes: #886368)
