Intel has issued a security alert for a flaw that has existed in many of its non-consumer processors for a decade. The flaw could be exploited by attackers, using Intel’s own remote-management tools, to install malware on devices and breach enterprise networks. Intel has rated the flaw – designated CVE-2017-5689 – as “critical” and recommends all business customers immediately assess whether they have devices with the vulnerable vPro processors and if so, patch them immediately. The functionality is present in Intel vPro and Xeon processors.”]
