Usn-4628-1 provided updated intel processor microcode for various processor typesthe intel running average power limit (rapl) feature of some intel processors allowed a side- channel attack based on power consumption measurements. some intel(r) processors did not properly remove sensitive information before storage or transfer in some situations. some intel(r) processors did not properly isolate shared resources in some situations.

Note: The preceding description block is extracted directly from the security advisory. Using automation, we have attempted to clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

this update provides the corresponding updates for some additional processor types.
