Her researchers Positive Technologies warn of a new lot large security gap in its processors Intel.
ΌAccording to Positive Technologies, this exploitation of vulnerabilities could override hardware encryption and DRM protections. The vulnerability is found in Intel processors over the past five years and only Intel 10th Gen processors are not affected.
The root of the flaw is Intel's Converged Security Management Engine (CSME), the part of Intel's chips that's responsible for securing all firmware that runs on Intel-powered machines. Intel has previously patched vulnerabilities in the CSME, but the researchers warn the CSME firmware is unprotected early on when a system boots so it is still vulnerable to attacks.
Intel is trying to mitigate the potential impact of the vulnerability by saying that it may require specialized hardware and physical access to execute malicious code on Intel CSME.
Η Positive Technologies is expected to give more technical details on the subject in white paper soon.
