Intel Releases Updates for Storage & Diagnostic Tools

CISA released an alert telling users about the updates to firmware in Intel SSD and Processor Diagnostic products.

The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has issued an alert for IT staff to be aware of two new updates from Intel, one for the firmware in certain data center solid-state disk (SSD) devices and the other for the Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool.
The
SSD update
is in response to
CVE-2018-18095
. The vulnerability, discovered internally at Intel, could allow attackers to gain access and update their privileges to then launch attacks on other system components.
Intel
updated its Processor Diagnostic Tool
in response to another privilege escalation vulnerability, this one discovered by Jesse Michael from
Eclypsium
and described in
CVE-2019-11133
. This is a higher-priority vulnerability than that in the SSD because it could allow privilege escalation, information disclosure, or denial-of-service attack against the victim.
