Package: intel-microcode
Version: 3.20180703.2
Severity: normal

Hi:

Intel reports in page 13 of
https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/sa00115-microcode-update-guidance.pdf
that Lynnfield CPUs (ID 106E5) should have microcode 0x09 and that
they made 0x0A avaliable.

Earlier document
https://newsroom.intel.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2018/04/microcode-update-guidance.pdf
mentions 0x09 in page 11.

But latest updates have neither, still stuck at 0x07, which is very
old.

Does Debian need to source additional microcode packages? Is Intel
limiting the distribution of fixes? Are both documents wrong?

Thanks for any help you can provide,
GSR
