Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'amd64-microcode' package(s) announced via the USN-3690-2 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: USN-3690-1 provided updated microcode for AMD processors to address CVE-2017-5715 (aka Spectre). Unfortunately, the update caused some systems to fail to boot. This update reverts the update for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. We apologize for the inconvenience. Original advisory details: Jann Horn discovered that microprocessors utilizing speculative execution and branch prediction may allow unauthorized memory reads via sidechannel attacks. This flaw is known as Spectre. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information, including kernel memory. This update provides the microcode updates for AMD 17H family processors required for the corresponding Linux kernel updates. Affected Software/OS: 'amd64-microcode' package(s) on Ubuntu 14.04. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 1.9 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
