Intel has issued fixes for five high-severity vulnerabilities in its graphics drivers. Attackers can exploit these flaws to launch an array of malicious attacks. The fixes end a dry spell in security updates for Intel, which hasn t disclosed any patched vulnerabilities since November. Intel also fixed a high security flaw in its XMM 7360 modem, which converts data from a digital format into a format for a transmission medium for LTE 4G smartphones and tablets. The bug could enable a user to escalate their privileges however, an attacker would need to be authenticated and have local access to the device.
