Are Intel processors the new Adobe Flash? It's starting to feel that way as the chip giant will release updates for a whopping 77 security vulnerabilities this month. According to Intel, 67 of the 77 vulnerabilities were found by its in-house security team. An overview of the bugs can be found
over here.
Intel is heavily invested in both industry collaboration and in conducting security research into our own products. As a result, while we are addressing 77 vulnerabilities this month, 67 were discovered internally through our own testing, validation and analysis. We believe that assigning CVE ID’s and publicly documenting internally found vulnerabilities helps our customers to accurately assess risk, prioritize, and deploy updates. By the time you are reading this blog post, mitigations for many of these issues will have already been propagated throughout the ecosystem through the IPU process. At the same time, the external researchers who reported the remaining issues to us have all been good partners in working with us on coordinated vulnerability disclosure (CVD).
