In RHEL (therefore CentOS), microcode comes from the microcode_ctl
package which is currently at 2.1-22.2.el7. If you get the latest from
Intel ( https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/27431/Linux-Processor-Microcode-Data-File
), that will update the microcode on your system to "date =
2017-11-20". As far as I can see, that changes the test result of
'Spectre Variant 2' from vuln to Not vuln.
