Supermicro, Pulse Secure release fixes for ‘TrickBoot’ attacks

Supermicro and Pulse Secure have released advisories warning that some of their motherboards are vulnerable to the TrickBot malware’s UEFI firmware-infecting module, known as TrickBoot. TrickBoot is a new malicious firmware-targeting ‘TrickBoot’ module delivered by the notorious TrickBot. When executed, the module will analyze a device’s firmware to determine if it has ‘write protection’ disabled. This could allow the malware to perform various malicious activities, such as bricking a device, bypassing operating system security controls, or reinfecting a system even after a full reinstall.
