call based on msrp very easily it gets difficult when it's the price is who knows and the third party seller price is PROFANITY_TOKEN you up next some vulnerabilities we recently received a tip from a viewer about gigabyte's bios updates the bios version description on a couple of amd boards bNUMBER_TOKEN and xNUMBER_TOKEN especially have been updated to state major vulnerability updates customers are strongly encouraged to update to this release at the earliest opportunity and it said quote customers will not be able to reverse to previous versions due to major vulnerabilities concerns there's non-specific credit here given and will specify to asif carlsbad and itai liba who are security researchers a security researcher and a senior security researcher at the cyber security company sentinel one on further investigation we found the same patch notes on multiple other gigabyte boards including intel board carlsbad and liba have recently collaborated on a software tool called brick perfect name that automates checking for system management mode vulnerabilities system management mode is responsible for low level system interactions that would be things like setting fan curves clock speeds myriad other things like managing the tpm which has been in the news lately and that explains the gravity of gigabytes response our assumption is either that the sentinel one team used brick to dig up and report weak points in gigabytes bios or more likely that gigabyte is patching around the broader vulnerabilities whose discoveries are credited to carlsbad and eva there is no reason to think that gigabyte is the only vendor affected keep an eye on bios patch notes and we'll pull a few up just to see if they've changed in the future but bios pass notes from other companies like asus and everyone else thus far carlsbad in particular has been posting a flood of brick discovered cves or common vulnerabilities and exposures as confirmed and addressed by intel lenovo asus and of course gigabyte the disclosures just from intel cover core cpus from the NUMBER_TOKENth gen to the NUMBER_TOKENth gen so you should update your bios as well as many xeons and pentiums and this story will likely expand to include everyone up next to follow up on a story that we ran in about NUMBER_TOKEN umc settling with micron over a patent infringement lawsuit so in NUMBER_TOKEN micron was temporarily banned by a chinese court from selling NUMBER_TOKEN of its products in china in relation to the patent allegation patent infringement dispute umc alleged basically that micron was infringing on its patents and micron's response was no you that's actually what happened micron said no umc is infringing on our patents and we're just taking them back so we're we're stealing what was ours and then we're using it that's not that also micron said all of your patents are invalid uh you facilitated theft of microns ip anyway and nobody loves you umc part of micron's official statement at the time was quote the patent infringement claims of umc and jinhua were filed against micron in retaliation for criminal indictments filed by taiwan authorities against umc and three of its employees and a civil lawsuit filed by micron against umc and jinoha in the united states district court for california
