    Kernel memory leaking Intel processor design flaw


    I believe BIOS updates are required. If it was a simple driver update, no one would have been particularly concerned about this whole fiasco. We have driver updates all the time.

    Ok... so, what it started to be an Intel exclusive flaw, now it's AMD and ARM too?
    I don't know why, but this feels really fishy, more if now they are blaming AV software if you can't get the update...

    I don't know what to believe now...

    It's because the update to fix the issue via software can break AV software as it changes the kernel.

    That means we need to update the AV software prior to this?

    Wow. Very well put together for information to at least get some understanding, John. Yes, it does get technical fast. Like trying to understand quantum physics. *Confused

    And I see you were up late to put it together. Thanks for your effort. *Smile

    What "Intel drivers" would those be?

    I wonder if this mess will lead to Intel resurrecting the IA-64 architecture.

    Of course not - we'll all be running POWER 9

    Enough of these low power cheap as chips, er, chips. Lets have some decent 350MW ones!

    I mean the chipset and ME driver primarily, if they are vulnerable that is. But it doesn't matter because I contacted both Intel and MSI this morning and both told me that a "microcode" update is required to be "fully" secured, so a BIOS update is indeed needed on top of the KB update from Microsoft. This creates a very concerned future because updating the BIOS aren't something normal PC users do often, or at all. I can also see that not even half of the PC's I use have gotten a BIOS update through the board manufacturer. And OEM's that's more than 5 years old probably won't even get a BIOS update.

    What if a user doesn’t update their BIOS. Most wouldn’t I’d imagine. I mean most of my family no nothing of a BIOS and trust windows update. I’d wager this goes for majority of windows users

    intel and MS needs a better solution than relying on people to update a BIOS ontop of windows update
