Although the vulnerability hasn&rsquo;t been fully disclosed yet, it made it into many headlines that this vulnerability is unfixable with a firmware update, with several news sources reporting that Positive Technologies was saying that this has the potential to destroy the whole Intel security model.</p> <p>Other than that there hasn&rsquo;t been much reporting about the vulnerability and when I checked the Positive Technologies blog post they seemed to be very timed about the issue, however, the more I researched trying to understand the exact problem the more I kept finding that this is a pretty huge exploit and that probably because of its complex nature and the technical details required to understand the exact problem it hasn&rsquo;t had enough mainstream news coverage.</p>
