Intel Management Engine vulnerability SA-00086

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I updated my Z270M Pro4 with the MEI firmware.  After updating, the Intel vulnerability check tool says the board is no longer vulnerable, but also reports that the some sort of licensing services needs to be updated too.  I don't use the board's HDMI output, but that is probably why HDCP isn't working after the MEI update.  Some licensing firmware is now broken.

	I received confirmation from support that HDCP should work after IME patch. This convinced me that propably there is something wrong with my setup. I decided to clear CMOS data and after that everything started to work... partially :-) Why partially? Well I discovered that when I have 1080ti plugged into slot and integrated graphic card is active (set as primary device) HDCP feature with Intel is not working anymore. I'm 100% sure that before applying IME patch HDCP was working OK, no matter which card I was using. Notice that only Intel's intergrated graphic card can provide required PAVP for playing BR UHD movies. Do the math and guess why I'm missing it :-) PS. Asrock EU support - thanks for help!
