A part of the Intel AMT web management interface, accessible even when the computer is sleeping. Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) is hardware and firmware for remote out-of-band management of select business computers, [1] [2] running on the Intel Management Engine, a microprocessor subsystem not exposed to the user, intended for monitoring, maintenance, updating, and repairing systems ...
The Intel Management Engine ( ME ), also known as the Intel Manageability Engine, [ 1][ 2] is an autonomous subsystem that has been incorporated in virtually all of Intel 's processor chipsets since 2008. [ 1][ 3][ 4] It is located in the Platform Controller Hub of modern Intel motherboards . The Intel Management Engine always runs as long as ...
Meltdown exploits a race condition, inherent in the design of many modern CPUs.This occurs between memory access and privilege checking during instruction processing. . Additionally, combined with a cache side-channel attack, this vulnerability allows a process to bypass the normal privilege checks that isolate the exploit process from accessing data belonging to the operating system and other ...
Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) is hardware-based technology built into PCs with Intel vPro technology.AMT is designed to help sys-admins remotely manage and secure PCs out-of-band when PC power is off, the operating system (OS) is unavailable (hung, crashed, corrupted, missing), software management agents are missing, or hardware (such as a hard disk drive or memory) has failed.
Transient execution CPU vulnerabilities are vulnerabilities in a computer system in which a speculative execution optimization implemented in a microprocessor is exploited to leak secret data to an unauthorized party. The archetype is Spectre, and transient execution attacks like Spectre belong to the cache-attack category, one of several ...
Intel vPro technology is an umbrella marketing term used by Intel for a large collection of computer hardware technologies, including VT-x, VT-d, Trusted Execution Technology (TXT), and Intel Active Management Technology (AMT). [1] When the vPro brand was launched (circa 2007), it was identified primarily with AMT, [2] [3] thus some journalists ...
The vulnerability is known to affect Skylake and later processors from Intel and Zen-based processors from AMD. [ 54] In February 2023, a team of researchers at North Carolina State University uncovered a new code execution vulnerability called Spectre-HD, also known as "Spectre SRV" or "Spectre v6".
EternalBlue[ 5] is a computer exploit software developed by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA). [ 6] It is based on a vulnerability in Microsoft Windows that allowed users to gain access to any number of computers connected to a network. The NSA knew about this vulnerability but did not disclose it to Microsoft for several years, since ...
