https://www.scmagazineuk.com/debugging-mechanism-in-intel-cpus-allows-seizing-control-via-usb-port/article/630340/

>Researchers from Positive Technologies have revealed that some new Intel CPUs contain a debugging interface, accessible via USB 3.0 ports, that can be used to obtain full control over a system and perform attacks that are undetectable by current security tools.
An attacker could use this to bypass all security systems for the embedding of code over a certain period of time, reading all possible data and even making the machine inoperative, for instance by re-writing its BIOS.

Joke's on them. I only have USB 2.0 ports.

>>58454519
At least this makes locking down computers with secure boot or whatever useless
>>
sure glad I don't let people stick their bits in my machine
>>
>>58454569

Skylake and newer CPUs.
>>
>>58454519
irrelevant for most of us. if a guy bursts through my door with his usb 3.0 donger in his hand, ready to plug it in deep inside and abuse the backdoor, I'll have other worries than my PC security.

fuckoff and shill elsewhere faggot.
advertisements keep 4chan running, you resorting to shitposting not only deprives potential and actual technological discussion, but makes other retarded fucks not much unlike yourself, from opting towards an ad instead of relentless shillposting.

I've learned that Russian Hackers are the new 400 pound my little pony boogiemen.

That's why I'm only using amd

People actually believe in the Holodomor bullshit?

If someone with malicious intent has physical access to your computer, you're probably fucked anyway.

You're better off with one of those dongles that pretend to be a network port.

Don't worry
RYZEN has USB3.0 too

This implies USB 3.0 controller being active on the motherboard.
Nobody forces you to use these ports. You can add your own controller via pcie.
>>
>>58454519
Intel? Whats that, oh, not AMD? Then does anyone care?

>>58454519
Intel fucking sucks, cant even make a decent driver

Can anyone say Q-Flash and Flashback?

USB requires the CPU, so the controller could still be vulnerable.
>>
>>58454519
because AMD doesnt have this as well right?

You'd be scared of the UEFi/EFI bugs hiding in the darkness.

So this thing can bypass full-drive encryption or can at most allow you to install malware before the encryption, so the attacker can steal the password and decrypt the drive later?
>>
>>58457645
But does it allow fucking jtag over usb, a feature literally nobody asked for?
>>
>>58462839
if you havent noticed, serial isnt too common
usb is hot swap, serial wasnt
usb jtag is an amazing feature, it will make debugging other pcs so much easier
>>
>>58462839
>a feature literally nobody asked for
Except system integrators, who buy the majority of CPU's.
>>
If you want to see if this short-sighted corporate fuckup is enabled, retrieve the IA32_DEBUG_INTERFACE MSR value via 'rdmsr --bitfield 0:0 0xc80'. If it comes back as one, congratulations, you are probably runnning a budget, U-suffixed Skylake processor that was designed with the manufacturer, rather than you, in mind.
>>
>>58462739
My assumption is that it permits direct memory access.

Same issue with thunderbolt (or firewire lol) if you don't have VT-d enabled as via intel_iommu=on.
