Red Hat Security Advisory 2018-0094-01
Posted Jan 17, 2018
Authored by Red Hat | Site access.redhat.com

Red Hat Security Advisory 2018-0094-01 - The linux-firmware packages contain all of the firmware files that are required by various devices to operate. This update supersedes microcode provided by Red Hat with the CVE-2017-5715 CPU branch injection vulnerability mitigation. Further testing has uncovered problems with the microcode provided along with the aSpectrea 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.

Synopsis:          Important: linux-firmware security update
Advisory ID:       RHSA-2018:0094-01
Product:           Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Advisory URL:      https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2018:0094
Issue date:        2018-01-16
=====================================================================

1. Summary:

An update for linux-firmware is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 Advanced Update Support, Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 7.2 Telco Extended Update Support, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2
Update Services for SAP Solutions, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3
Extended Update Support.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact

Red Hat Enterprise Linux for ARM and IBM Power LE (POWER9) Server (v. 7) - noarch

3. Description:

The linux-firmware packages contain all of the firmware files that are
required by various devices to operate.

This update supersedes microcode provided by Red Hat with the CVE-2017-5715
(aSpectrea) 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 aSpectrea 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.

4. Solution:

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes
described in this advisory, refer to:

5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/):
