The following updates has been released for Debian GNU/Linux 7 Extended LTS:
ELA-37-2 openssh regression update
ELA-37-3 openssh security update
ELA-39-1 intel-microcode security update
ELA-40-1 lcms2 security update
ELA-41-1 lcms security update
ELA-37-2 openssh regression update
ELA-37-3 openssh security update
ELA-39-1 intel-microcode security update
ELA-40-1 lcms2 security update
ELA-41-1 lcms security update
ELA-37-2 openssh regression update
Package: openssh
Version: 1:6.0p1-4+deb7u9
It was discovered that the recent openssh update issued as ELA-37-1 caused a regression. Authentication failed during public key exchange and a NULL pointer was passed as argument instead. This could prevent a user from logging into a system. This update reverts to the previous state until more information are available.
For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 1:6.0p1-4+deb7u9.
We recommend that you upgrade your openssh packages.

ELA-37-3 openssh security update
Package: openssh
Version: 1:6.0p1-4+deb7u10
Related CVE: CVE-2018-15473
This update properly implements the fix for the issue first identified in ELA-37-1. The initial update package, version 1:6.0p1-4+deb7u8, is broken and the subsequent package, version 1:6.0p1-4+deb7u9, reverts the incorrect patch and so is vulnerable (as described in ELA-37-2). The package version referenced in this advisory contains the complete and correct fix for CVE-2018-15473.
The original advisory text follows:
It was discovered that there was a user enumeration vulnerability in OpenSSH. A remote attacker could test whether a certain user exists on a target server.
For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 1:6.0p1-4+deb7u10.
We recommend that you upgrade your openssh packages.

ELA-39-1 intel-microcode security update
Package: intel-microcode
Version: 3.20180807a.1~deb7u1
Related CVE: CVE-2018-3615 CVE-2018-3620 CVE-2018-3646 CVE-2018-3639 CVE-2018-3640 CVE-2017-5715
Security researchers identified speculative execution side-channel methods which have the potential to improperly gather sensitive data from multiple types of computing devices with different vendors’ processors and operating systems.
In order to fix those issues an update to the intel-microcode package is required, which is non-free. It is related to ELA-18-1 and adds more mitigations for additional types of Intel processors.
