Intel provides a list of all affected products and recommendations for vulnerable products at the end of each consultation, as well as contact information for those who wish to report other security issues or vulnerabilities identified in Intel-branded products or technology.

Among the security updates released on Tuesday, Intel encountered a critical vulnerability with a CVSS score of 9,4 / 10 on Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) and Intel Standard Manageability (ISM) products.

The defect (monitored as CVE-2020-8752) is a subscript IPv6 of Intel AMT and ISM (releases before 11.8.80, 11.12.80, 11.22.80, 12.0.70, 14.0) which allows remote unauthorized to change privileges.

Successful exploitation requires setting up vulnerable products with IPv6 which is not a default setting according to Intel.

A second critical security flaw (CVE-2020-12321) with a CVSS severity score of 9,6 / 10 affecting some Intel Wireless Bluetooth products was also addressed in the Intel update in November.

The new vulnerabilities of the Intel CPU (CVE-2020-8694and CVE-2020-8695) were named PLATYPUS and were discovered by an international team of researchers from the University of Technology Graz, the CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security and the University of Birmingham.

Successful exploitation of the two vulnerabilities could lead to πληροφοριών από τη διεπαφή Running Average Limit Power (RAPL), που χρησιμοποιείται για την παρακολούθηση και διαχείριση της CPU και της κατανάλωσης ενέργειας της μνήμης DRAM.

The researchers also released a video showing how one could steal AES-NI keys from the Intel SGX with a PLATYPUS attack.
