Intel released the Intel SA-00086 detection tool that runs on Windows and Linux systems to help you identify if the Intel SA-00086 vulnerability has impacted your systems. As a system administrator, you cannot—in any practical sense—manually scan thousands of computers individually with Intel’s detection tool. > Intel advises Microsoft and Linux users to download and run the Intel-SA-00086 Detection tool to determine whether their systems are vulnerable. If you are at risk, you must obtain firmware updates from your computer's manufacturer.

Just ran the tool on a Surface Pro 4 and it was found to be vulnerable as well.

I'm pretty sure that SP4 and anything released after SP4 is vulnerable.

My Surface Pro 4 was found to be vulnerable as well. When will we get a fix for this vulnerability? Other major PC manufactures have a software patch in the works to be released soon on their PC lines and I would think Microsoft would be right there with them. I bought a Surface Pro because I thought it was a superior tablet but if you don't back it to fix major security vulnerabilities found in the software or hardware used by your products then it is not better then the competition.

We need a fix Microsoft and we we need it ASAP!

Same issue on my Surface pro 4 but not on my Surface 3 as mentioned here. Can the ME be disabled without affecting usual usage of Surface 4 pros?

True = I have a surface laptop that's vurnable as well.

Just want to point out this is not just a vurnability anymore their is an existing exploit for this and parts of this will be presented at Blackhat UK 2017 06-12-17. I really hope Microsoft puts out a patch before that.

The best solution would be to disable Intel ME completly :-)

Sep 21, 2014  Hello all, I know that, from time to time, CAT tools for Macs have been discussed here. As some of these discussions seem to be a few years old, I thought I'd ask your views on the subject. Cat tool for mac. Blue Cat's StereoScope Multi for Mac OS X v.1.91 Blue Cat's StereoScope Multi is a unique tool to compare the stereo image of several tracks in real time. It is the ideal solution for mixing: you can actually see which part of the stereo field every single instrument uses. Fortunately we, Mac users, have also some good CAT tools such as Wordfast, Omega T, etc. Apart from that problem, we also face other struggles: there are many pieces of advice out there about which is the best software for invoicing, for this or for that.

So a company as big as microsoft cant stand to their under 20 products and fix this issue quickly, but Asus and Lenovo can release patches for many more systems? Hard to recommend the Surface Laptop if not even the Security aspect is true.

Hi everyone,

Intel Sa 00086 Hp

Microsoft is aware of the Intel Management Engine vulnerability (Intel-SA-00086). The Intel vulnerability detection tool currently lists Microsoft Surface devices as vulnerable to this security advisory.

Microsoft has investigated the issue and found the following:

Intel-sa-00086 Detection Tool

  1. Remote exploit of this vulnerability requires Intel Active Management Technology (AMT). Current Surface devices do not allow remote connectivity to the ME because our devices do not run AMT.
  2. Local exploit of this vulnerability requires Direct Connect Interface (DCI) access via USB, which is not provided on Surface devices.

Because of this, we believe exploits using this vulnerability are significantly reduced on Surface devices. We care deeply about ensuring our devices are reliable and secure and are working with Intel to generate fixes for current devices, which we expect to release in the near future.

Thanks,

Greg

Intel published a security advisory yesterday detailing security vulnerabilities in the firmware of the company's Management Engine, Server Platform Services, and Trusted Execution Engine.

A wide range of Intel processor families and products are affected by these issues, including 6th, 7th and 8th generation Intel Core processors, Intel Xeon processors, Intel Atom processors, Apollo Lake processors and Intel Celeron processors.

Basically, systems using Management Engine firmware versions 11.0, 11.5, 11.7, 11.10, and 11.20, Server Platform Engine firmware version 4.0, and Trusted Execution Engine version 3.0 are impacted by the vulnerabilities.

Attackers may exploit security vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access to affected systems. Potential scenarios include running code outside the visibility of the operating system or user context, causing system instabilities or crashes, or impacting local security feature attestation validity.

Find out if a system is vulnerable

Intel released a detection tool which you may download from this web page. It is available for Windows 7 and newer versions of Windows, and for Linux.

The program runs a quick scan and returns its findings afterwards. It highlights whether the system is vulnerable, and displays the Intel product and its firmware version as well.

What to do if the system is vulnerable

There is nothing that users can do to the system directly to fix the vulnerability. Intel notes that it is up to OEMs and manufacturers to release updates for their products to fix the security issues.

What that means is the following: If you have bought a PC from a manufacturer like Dell, Lenovo, HP or any other PC manufacturer, you need to wait for them to release updates that address the issue.

Intel lists links to support information on this support article. The company will update links to manufacturers when updates are released by them. Currently, links are available for Dell and Lenovo customers.

Update: Now includes links to Acer, Fujitsu, HPE, and Panasonic as well.

Users who built a PC by themselves, changed the motherboard, or bought a pre-assembled PC using custom parts, need to consult the motherboard manufacturer instead.

Closing Words

Judging from past vulnerabilities and patching activity, it seems very likely that manufacturers won't release updates for some systems and motherboards. Since Intel prevents direct access to affected features, these systems will remain vulnerable throughout their lifetime.

This is not the first issue that affected Intel's Management Engine. The EFF published a detailed account on that back in May 2017 for instance, urging Intel to provide the means to give administrators and users options to disable or limit the Management Engine.

Now You: Is your system affected?
