Fedora 27: dracut Security Update

January 8, 2018

Adds support for early microcode for **AMD CPUs family >= 0x17**

Summary

dracut contains tools to create a bootable initramfs for 2.6 Linux kernels.

Unlike existing implementations, dracut does hard-code as little as possible

into the initramfs. dracut contains various modules which are driven by the

event-based udev. Having root on MD, DM, LVM2, LUKS is supported as well as

NFS, iSCSI, NBD, FCoE with the dracut-network package.

Adds support for early microcode for **AMD CPUs family >= 0x17**. Note: Intel

CPU support is fine. To add the microcode to all your initramfs images: ``` #

dracut --regenerate-all --force ``` To only add it to the current kernel

version: ``` # dracut --force ```

su -c 'dnf upgrade dracut' at the command line.
