As a stopgap measure until the licensing issues are straightened out, you can build an updated version of the package yourself rather easily. What's below should more or less work to generate an updated intel-microcode package starting from Debian's intel-microcode-3.20180703.2 source: mkdir microcode_src cd microcode_src sudo apt-get build-dep intel-microcode apt-get source intel-microcode # download microcode-20180807.tgz from Intel mkdir microcode_new cd microcode_new tar xf ../microcode-20180807.tgz cp intel-ucode/* ../intel-microcode-3.20180703.2/intel-ucode cd ../intel-microcode-3.20180703.2/debian cat >> changelog <<EOF intel-microcode (3.20180807.1manual) unstable; urgency=medium * manually update to latest Intel microcode package -- me <my@email.address> Mon, 20 Aug 2018 00:00:00 -0000 EOF cd ../ debuild -b -uc -us cd ../ sudo dpkg -i intel-microcode-3.20180807.1manual_amd64.deb YMMV, use the above at your own risk, understand what you're doing before you do it, etc.
