The critical security bug in vPro processors has been patched by Intel. The affected chipsets are Q35, GM45, PM45 Express, Q45, and Q43 Express.
The bug is about implementation errors in the company’s trusted execution technology (TXT).
“We again showed that an attacker can compromise the integrity of a software loaded via an Intel TXT-based loader in a generic way, fully circumventing any protection TXT is supposed to provide,” said Invisible Things Lab researchers.
