Binary updates for the amd64 platform are available via the syspatch utility.
Source code patches can be found on the respective errata pages:

As these affect the kernel, a reboot will be needed after patching. |

Intel prepared fixed, stable microcode for Broadwell and Haswell CPUs and sent them to OEMs as part of Spectre v2 mitigation.
