Intel recently published security advisories detailing over 20 vulnerabilities in their processors and products. These advisories cover issues such as UEFI firmware vulnerabilities affecting various processor series, ranging from Atom to Xeon. Majority of the flaws have a ‘high severity’ rating and can lead to privilege escalation, DoS attacks, and information disclosure. Intel advises customers to install the latest firmware and microcode updates to mitigate these vulnerabilities. Additionally, there are medium- and low-severity flaws in RAID Web Console software that could also be exploited for DoS attacks, information disclosure, and privilege escalation.
From the meeting notes:
– Intel published advisories about 20+ vulnerabilities in processors and other products.
– The advisories include 11 vulnerabilities in the UEFI firmware, with more than half rated as ‘high severity’.
– The vulnerabilities can lead to local privilege escalation, DoS attacks, and information disclosure.
– There is a medium-severity processor vulnerability that can cause a DoS condition.
– Some processors are impacted by an information disclosure flaw related to the Running Average Power Limit (RAPL) interface.
– Customers are advised to install the latest firmware and microcode updates to address these vulnerabilities.
– Additionally, there are nine medium- and low-severity flaws in RAID Web Console software, which can lead to DoS attacks, information disclosure, and privilege escalation.
