Intel Security Issue Update: Addressing Reboot Issues
This is -- to say the least -- frustrating.  First, the busted  microcode is still available on the Intel Download Center[1], without any warning that they recommend that you not, in fact, install it. Second, the press release is still being evasive: they have not merely "received reports"; they in fact know that it's causing issues, and the press release is avoiding the much stronger language that Intel is giving privately (namely, don't install this).The broken microcode is (at some level, anyway) forgivable; Intel's ongoing inability to communicate transparently and honestly with its customers during this crisis of its creation is much less so.[1] https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/27431/Linux-Proces...
