Intel and AMD Release Patches for Over 80 Vulnerabilities Across Their Products
Key points
- Intel patched 72 vulnerabilities across 42 advisories.
- AMD addressed a dozen vulnerabilities in five advisories.
- High-severity flaws in Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi software and Xeon processors were fixed.
- AMD patched high-severity issues in Vitis development environment and Ryzen Master Utility.
Extensive Vulnerability Patches Released
Intel and AMD collectively announced patches for over 80 vulnerabilities across their various products. These updates were released on Tuesday as part of their regular security maintenance cycles.
Intel's Security Updates
Intel published 42 new advisories covering 72 vulnerabilities. Among these, several high-severity flaws were patched in PROSet/Wireless WiFi software, which could allow an attacker to escalate privileges or conduct a denial-of-service (DoS) attack. Other high-severity vulnerabilities were addressed in Xeon processors, Data Center Attestation Primitives, Alias Checking Trusted Module for Xeon processors, TDX, Active Management Technology, and CSME and SPS.
Intel also resolved numerous medium-severity issues across a wide range of products, including Transfer Learning Tool, Extension for PyTorch, LLM-on-Ray, Gaudi Container Runtime, Performance Counter Monitor, vLLM Hardware Plugin for Gaudi, Approximate Bayesian Inference Framework, Hardware Aware Automated Machine Learning, EquiTriton Software, Workload Services Framework, LLM Scaler, LLM Library and oneCCL Bindings for PyTorch, TDX DCAP and Guest, AI Containers, Cluster Management Toolkit for Kubernetes, Open VKL, Extension for TensorFlow, NPU Drivers, Neural Compressor, Battery Life Diagnostic Tool, Xeon and Core Ultra, UEFI Reference BIOS, AI Reference Models, CSME, and SPS. A low-severity vulnerability in Slim Bootloader was also fixed. These security holes could be exploited for privilege escalation, DoS, and information disclosure.
AMD's Security Fixes
AMD issued five new advisories detailing a dozen vulnerabilities. One advisory described five high-severity issues in the Vitis development environment, which could lead to private key disclosure, privilege escalation, and arbitrary code execution. Arbitrary code execution issues were also addressed in Ryzen Master Utility, SEV-SNP, and Power Design Manager.
Importance of Applying Patches
These patches are crucial for users and organizations to protect against potential exploits. The vulnerabilities addressed could have significant impacts, ranging from unauthorized access and data exposure to system disruption. Applying these updates promptly is recommended to mitigate risks.
