high Nessus Plugin ID 106029

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

Adds support for early microcode for **AMD CPUs family >= 0x17**.

Note: Intel CPU support is fine.

To add the microcode to all your initramfs images: ``` # dracut
--regenerate-all --force ``` To only add it to the current kernel version: ``` # dracut --force ```

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora update system website.
Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected dracut package.
