In addition, the company issued the statement below, which can
also be found in the Intel Newsroom:
“Intel and other technology companies have
been made aware of new security research describing software
analysis methods that, when used for malicious purposes, have the
potential to improperly gather sensitive data from computing
devices that are operating as designed. Intel believes these
exploits do not have the potential to corrupt, modify or delete
data.
“Recent reports that these exploits are
caused by a “bug” or a “flaw” and are unique to Intel products are
incorrect. Based on the analysis to date, many types of computing
devices -- with many different vendors’ processors and operating
systems -- are susceptible to these exploits.
“Intel is committed to product and customer
security and is working closely with many other technology
companies, including AMD, ARM Holdings and several operating system
vendors, to develop an industry-wide approach to resolve this issue
promptly and constructively. Intel has begun providing software and
firmware updates to mitigate these exploits. Contrary to some
reports, any performance impacts are workload-dependent, and, for
the average computer user, should not be significant and will be
mitigated over time.
“Intel is committed to the industry best
practice of responsible disclosure of potential security issues,
which is why Intel and other vendors had planned to disclose this
issue next week when more software and firmware updates will be
available. However, Intel is making this statement today because of
the current inaccurate media reports.
“Check with your operating system vendor or
system manufacturer and apply any available updates as soon as they
are available. Following good security practices that protect
against malware in general will also help protect against possible
exploitation until updates can be applied.
“Intel believes its products are the most
secure in the world and that, with the support of its partners, the
current solutions to this issue provide the best possible security
for its customers.”
