Of note among the security updates issued this Tuesday, Intel addressed a critical vulnerability with a CVSS score of 9.4/10 in the Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) and Intel Standard Manageability (ISM) products. The flaw (tracked as CVE-2020-8752) is an out-of-bounds write in the IPv6 subsystem of Intel AMT and ISM (versions prior to 11.8.80, 11.12.80, 11.22.80, 12.0.70, 14.0.45) that enables remote unauthenticated to escalate privileges. #Intel power gadget 2020 Bluetooth#Successful exploitation requires vulnerable products to be configured with IPv6 which is not a default configuration according to Intel.Ī second critical security flaw ( CVE-2020-12321) rated with a CVSS severity base score of 9.6/10 and affecting some Intel Wireless Bluetooth products was also addressed in the Intel November 2020 Platform Update. #Intel power gadget 2020 install#Intel power gadget install hang Bluetooth# Intel CPUs patched against new PLATYPUS side-channel attacks The bug is an improper buffer restriction in Wireless Bluetooth products before version 21.110 that enables unauthenticated escalation of privilege via adjacent access (Local Area Network only). New Intel CPU side-channel vulnerabilities ( CVE-2020-8694 and CVE-2020-8695) dubbed PLATYPUS and disclosed by an international group of researchers from the Graz University of Technology, CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security, and the University of Birmingham were also patched by called Platypus. Successful exploitation of the two vulnerabilities could lead to information leakage from the Running Average Power Limit (RAPL) Interface, used to monitor and manage CPUs and DRAM memory power consumption. The researchers showed that the RAPL interface can be used to keep an eye on targeted systems' power consumption and infer what instructions were performed by the CPU, enabling attackers to steal data from memory.Īll major operating systems are affected according to the research team.
