Category:	CentOS Local Security Checks
Title:	CentOS Update for microcode_ctl CESA-2018:0093 centos6
Summary:	Check the version of microcode_ctl
Description:	Summary: Check the version of microcode_ctl Vulnerability Insight: The microcode_ctl packages provide microcode updates for Intel and AMD processors. This update supersedes microcode provided by Red Hat with the CVE-2017-5715 (Spectre) CPU branch injection vulnerability mitigation. (Historically, Red Hat has provided updated microcode, developed by our microprocessor partners, as a customer convenience.) Further testing has uncovered problems with the microcode provided along with the Spectre mitigation that could lead to system instabilities. As a result, Red Hat is providing an microcode update that reverts to the last known good microcode version dated before 03 January 2018. Red Hat strongly recommends that customers contact their hardware provider for the latest microcode updates. IMPORTANT: Customers using Intel Skylake-, Broadwell-, and Haswell-based platforms must obtain and install updated microcode from their hardware vendor immediately. The 'Spectre' mitigation requires both an updated kernel from Red Hat and updated microcode from your hardware vendor. Affected Software/OS: microcode_ctl on CentOS 6 Solution: Please Install the Updated Packages. CVSS Score: 1.9 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
