Manufacturers of the millions of business PCs, laptops and servers using Intel chips with a newly discovered critical security vulnerability say they are working as fast as they can to distribute the fix to customers. But only two companies so far issued a timetable for rolling out patches, and the schedule already stretches deep into June, meaning many users will have to wait more than a month for a fix. In a statement sent Friday to CyberScoop, Intel said, “We have implemented and validated a firmware update to address the problem and we are collaborating with computer-makers to facilitate a rapid and smooth integration with their software.” The vulnerability, which the company reported May 1, allows an attacker to bypass the password protection on Intel’s special remote-administration firmware, known as Advanced Management Technology. AMT is firmware, meaning it runs on the microprocessor chip itself, beneath the operating system, completely bypassing any security precautions or software. Unless manufacturers ship products with […]
