Some Dell systems that use some models of Intel CPUs are susceptible to hangs and system instability during or after microcode update to revision 0xc6/0xca (included as part of microcode-20191113/microcode-20191115 update that addressed CVE-2019-0117, CVE-2019-0123, CVE-2019-11135, and CVE-2019-11139) and/or revision 0xd6 (included as part of microcode-20200609 update that addressed CVE-2020-0543, CVE-2020-0548, and CVE-2020-0549) [1][2][3][4][5][6]. In order to address this, microcode update to the newer revision has been disabled by default on these systems, and the previously published microcode revisions 0xae/0xb4/0xb8 are used by default for the OS-driven microcode update.
