Systems using ME Firmware versions 6.x/7.x/8.x/9.x/10.x//11.0/11.5/11.6/11.7/11.10/11.20, SPS Firmware version 4.0, and TXE version 3.0 are impacted. https://security-center.intel.com/advisory.aspx?intelid=INTEL-SA-00086&languageid=en-fr https://security-center.intel.com/advisory.aspx?intelid=INTE...
