34 vulnerabilities discovered in Intel products

According to Tom's Hardware , in its latest statement, Intel said that there are 34 vulnerabilities present in its products. This group of vulnerabilities affects many different components, from processors and chipsets to Wi-Fi and Thunderbolt controllers.

Security vulnerabilities fixed by Intel through update

In the case of Wi-Fi and Thunderbolt controllers, users can protect themselves from malicious actions by updating the drivers for the controller. At the Thunderbolt driver level, 20 vulnerabilities have been discovered that allow attackers to escalate privileges, conduct denial of service (DDoS) attacks, and steal data if they have direct access to the attacked PC. Only one of the vulnerabilities identified in Thunderbolt allows remote access to the attacked PC, but its severity is classified as medium.

The XTU, oneAPI Toolkit, and Intel Unison utilities were also vulnerable to various vulnerabilities, but all of them have been fixed in the latest versions. Some Intel utilities that users do not interact with directly are also vulnerable, although they have also been fixed in updates.

In fact, Intel only refused to fix the information security vulnerability when working with the System Usage Report for Gameplay utility, but this utility is no longer distributed.
