Debian Bookworm and Bullseye users are now patched against the recent "Downfall" and "INCEPTION" hardware flaws affecting Intel and AMD CPUs.

As usual, very quick fixes for these vulnerabilities on Linux.

This flaw is now patched in the 5.10.179-5 kernel package of Debian GNU/Linux 11 “Bullseye” and 6.1.38-4 kernel package of Debian GNU/Linux 12 “Bookworm”. However, to fully mitigate the vulnerability, users will also have to install the intel-microcode 3.20230808.1~deb11u1 package.
