JZ once again are you seeing the difference between these two:

Asus patch - > https://www.asus.com/en/Motherboards/Z170M-PLUS/HelpDesk_BIOS/
Your Asrock wannabe patch -> http://asrock.pc.cdn.bitgravity.com/TSD/ME-consumer_11.8.50.3425.zip

Till Asrock place it on their official website it's not official.

sorry, but is this asrock official? we just need some clarity.

Hello,

It is official and you can see the address from the link and it comes from ASRock only in advance and soon on the ASRock website Wink


No no no JZ. Post is on Asrock forum but link with zip file which you provided http://asrock.pc.cdn.bitgravity.com/TSD/ME-consumer_11.8.50.3425.zip have Asrock in name but domain is totally different so from my point of view its not legit.


i must correct this, jz is actually right, the link provided is really from asrock, because i have received a email from asrock support with the same adress.

According to the TenForums discussion on this topic, Gigabyte has already posted a patch for its affected motherboards. See https://www.tenforums.com/windows-10-news/98600-flaws-found-intel-management-engine-me-txe-sps-2.html, thread #13 for a claim to this effect. I've been checking App Shop periodically since this came up and have seen nothing yet. Just checked the BIOS info for my affected motherboards, too, and haven't seen anything there yet, either.

HTH,

im not sure but it could be that drivers and firmware upgrades from different brands and products are even compatible / changeable with each other, for example Intel Z370, x299, Z87, Z97, Z170, Z270, Z270, H170, B250, B150 ... (Serie 8/9/100/200/300 Series).

i know that at least for the drivers this is the case. then there are two different versions of firmware for each chipset series, corporate (MEI / AMT) (5mb) and consumer (MEI) (1.5mb).

then for example for the 100-series consumer there is Firmware 1.5Mo (LP) (Intel 100-series Consumer LP Skylake-Y-U and Skylake (Mobile)) and Firmware 1.5Mo (SH) (Intel 100-series Consumer Skylake-S-H and Skylake).

and this goes on for the other chipsets, too. so they have the same driver and different firmwares, but probably a corporate could be flashed onto a consumer board and drivers be used as well.

i tried it by myself once if i remember right but i advise strongly against it and im not recommending it.

note: just found out samsung and asrock use the same intel flash utility / routine, its probably the same for other vendors.

Hello. FYI, the Intel ME update seems to break playback of Ultra HD Blu-Ray discs. I own the Fatal1ty Z370 Gaming-ITX/ac board, which is one of the few out there that can handle all the ridiculous requirements for playing UHD discs. Among other things, the Intel ME drivers are a critical part of the puzzle since they enable SGX support, which UHD discs require.

Anyway, everything was fine until I installed the updated ME drivers. Now, Cyberlink's software tells me that HDCP 2.2 (a handshake protocol over HDMI) is no longer available. I figured that I might be able to get it working again if I reinstalled Intel's graphics drivers and restarted the PC. Nope. Same issue. I need to double check the UEFI settings but I'm 99% sure nothing changed.

Has anybody else had this problem? Any workarounds? I'll keep tinkering and will report back if anything changes.

Thank you.

ill probably update firmware and drivers in an hour or so. where did you get your drivers and firmware update from?

i want to add that intel recommends a certain uninstall routine, but for mainstream users it should not be important.

you can still check here.

https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/technologies/intel-active-management-technology-intel-amt/Firmware_Deployment_Process-Rev1.0.pdf

use the sa-00075 command line tool from the installation for the following:

sa-00075:
*********

note:
*****

The procedural steps for implementing the mitigation are as
follows:
1. Unprovision the Intel manageability SKU system.
This is necessary to mitigate the network privilege
escalation vulnerability and remove any
configuration changes an unprivileged attacker could
have made prior to mitigation.
2. Update the impacted systems with firmware
obtained from your OEM that addresses this issue.
3. Re-provision Intel manageability SKU with your
existing manageability / configuration console.

important:

run from windows cmd-console with administrator privileges


1. download detection and mitigation tool and install it (run to check vulnerability)

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/26755/INTEL-SA-00075-Detection-and-Mitigation-Tool

2. unprovision (run from installation folder of sa-00075 tool)

Intel-SA-00075-console.exe -Unprovision

3. disable lms

Intel-SA-00075-console.exe -DisableLMS

Replace the words "mother board" with "Car".....

If there are security issues with a part from my car, that is manufactured by a parts supplier of my car manufacturer, then my car manufacturer is responsible for fixing this issue for the endconsumer by doing a recall for all those cars affected.....

So Asrock must take action in my opinion, providing a solution/guide eventually to their endconsumers with affected products.
