Intel Deploys Undisclosed Microcode Security Update For CPUs Going Back To Coffee Lake

CPUS

As spotted by Linux publication Phoronix, Intel released CPU microcode updates for processors all the way back to Coffee Lake on Friday afternoon. Unfortunately, the changelog doesn't delve into details other than that the new microcode fixes an undisclosed security issue.

The security issue didn't make the list on Patch Tuesday, a colloquial term referring to companies that released patches on the second Tuesday of each month. Furthermore, Phoronix noted that there hadn't been any mentions of a CPU microcode update or any new Intel Security Advisory for the month.
