A critical security flaw in intel products has been discovered. All computers should run the detection tool to see if they need to be patched. An attacker could gain unauthorized access.

This includes scenarios where a successful attacker could:

  • Load and execute arbitrary code outside the visibility of the user and operating system.

  • Cause a system crash or system instability.

  • Impersonate the ME/SPS/TXE, thereby impacting local security feature attestation validity.
