needrestart - microcode support =============================== Some CPU architectures supports microcode updates to mitigate hardware-level bugs. Needrestart checks if the current running microcode signature matches the most recent version available on the host. The detection is currently only supported for Intel CPUs. Intel ----- Needrestart uses `iucode-tool`[1] to test for pending microcode updates. On Debian GNU/Linux it should be sufficient to install the `intel-microcode` package: ```console # apt-get install intel-microcode ``` [1] https://gitlab.com/iucode-tool/iucode-tool/wikis/home
