The article says Internet scans for the ports have found about 9000 unprotected PCs, so it is done.
Apparently some Intel business PCs have AMT installed.
It's a critical bug, but only a risk to anyone who've been silly enough to open the firewall for external access to that Intel Management thingie. Unless I've completely misunderstood the issue.
Business laptops also have iAMT. They usually also run within public WiFi. Even real life enemies (not only robots) may attack your machine there. Moreover iAMT is designed (AFAIR in opposite to IPMI) to be able to "call home" through any firewall. To make the administrator able to help even when the user and machine are on a business trip. Though don't now whether this is related to this particular attack. cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
