Hi Markus,
This microcode release happened a week before the disclosure of L1TF and with
all previous CPU bugs, Intel initially only shipped updates to OEMs and only
released general microcode updates weeks/months later.
Have you been able to confirm (e.g. by testing) that 20180807 implements changes
necessary for L1TF (such as L1D_FLUSH) or is there some official statement
by Intel on this?
Cheers,
Moritz
