Summary

This update ships updated CPU microcode for additional models of Intel
CPUs which were not yet covered by the Intel microcode update released

"Spectre v4") and fixes for "Spectre v3a")).

For the stable distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed in
version 3.20180807a.1~deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your intel-microcode packages.
