Hi there!
With the recent release of RHEL8 GA and the ongoing CentOS 8 building process (https://wiki.centos.org/About/Building_8), I'd like to know if we'll see kernel security updates for CentOS 7.x for the newly announced Intel CPU security vulnerabilities.
Red Hat released a number of kernel and microcode updates yesterday:
* https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2019:1168: kernel-3.10.0-957.12.2.el7
* https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHEA-2019:1210: microcode_ctl-2.1-47.2.el7_6
and they don't seem to have made their way to the CentOS updates repo yet. So I'm wondering if it's just a matter of time, or if they won't be provided at all.
Thanks!
