IRVINE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Advantech (TWSE: 2395.TW), a global leader in industrial IoT, today announced twelve new platforms based on 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors, , ranging from ultra-short-depth wireless access and IoT edge servers to high-throughput network security appliances and multi-node hyper-converged infrastructure solutions. With 1.5x more performance than previous generation, built-in security and acceleration features, the new configurations target industrial, cybersecurity and telecom edge applications as well as hybrid cloud deployments and HPC. Selected platforms will be verified as Intel Select Soluti
5 Big Takeaways From Intel’s 2020 Product Security Report
The semiconductor giant’s 2020 Product Security Report outlines how many vulnerabilities were uncovered by Intel versus external research, which product areas had the most vulnerabilities and how severe the issues were last year, among other things. By Dylan Martin March 03, 2021, 01:00 PM EST
Ever since the Spectre and Meltdown CPU vulnerabilities prompted a security reckoning for Intel in 2018, the chipmaker has been doubling down on investments in product security, which included the formation of the Intel Product Assurance and Security group as well as a bug bounty program.
Those investments have also included more public-facing communications, such as Intel’s 2020 Product Security Report, which came out Wednesday and outlines where the company found vulnerabilities in its products, how severe they were and how Intel worked with external researchers. None of the 231 vulnerabil
Intel is warning on security bugs across its graphics drivers, server boards, compute modules and modems.
Intel has issued fixes for five high-severity vulnerabilities in its graphics drivers. Attackers can exploit these flaws to launch an array of malicious attacks – such as escalating their privileges, stealing sensitive data or launching denial-of-service attacks.
The graphics driver is software that controls how graphic components work with the rest of the computer. Intel develops graphics drivers for Windows OS to communicate with specific Intel graphics devices, for instance. The most serious of the flaws in Intel’s graphics drivers (CVE-2020-0544), which ranks 8.8 out of 10 on the CVSS scale, stems from the kernel mode driver, which is the piece of a graphics driver that executes any instruction it needs on the CPU without waiting, and can reference any memory address that is available.
