| 1443715 | 2018-01-04 06:11:00 | Just read an article on how Intel and maybe AMD chips might be compromised and they are waiting for OS makers to patch the OS to fix said compromise. I wonder which OS will be patched and which will not. I'm picking half the Linux ones won't be while Windows and Apple will | gary67 (56) | ||

I wonder which OS will be patched and which will not. I'm picking half the Linux ones won't be while Windows and Apple will Interesting reading. Just found one article. Doesn't matter WHAT OS you have if a attacker gets to the chipset - its all over. For those unaware, Intel-based chipsets come with ME enabled for local and remote system management, allowing IT administrators to remotely manage and repair PCs, workstations, and servers within their organization. As long as the system is connected to a line power and a network cable, these remote functions can be performed out of band even when the computer is turned off as it operates independently of the operating system. Since ME has full access to almost all data on the computer, including its system memory and network adapters, exploitation of the ME flaws to execute malicious code on it could allow for a complete compromise of the platform. |

Thanks for the link Fred :thumbs: One interesting section of the article these changes were seeded to beta testers running fast-ring Windows Insider builds in November and December. Crucially, these updates to both Linux and Windows will incur a performance hit on Intel products Got the insider builds, haven't noticed anything slowing down. |

| 1443720 | 2018-01-04 07:11:00 | This guy has run several benchmarks on a range of systems (all running Linux but the results in Windows likely won't be much different) He says that speed reduction will not be catastrophic in most use-cases. "I have yet to find any very common workload where end-users would be dramatically impacted: the I/O slowdowns are when incurring heavy I/O synthetic benchmarking on fast NVMe solid-state drives." www.phoronix.com May be a different story for data centres etc |

The latest insider Build is already patched I see Anyone with ESET or Symantic Endpoint Protection there may be problems with KB4056892 malwaretips.com Whats affected www.bleepingcomputer.com See even Firefox is affected |
