Intel Addressing Security Research Posing Potential Vulnerabilities

Intel is "aware" of new security analysis revealing some software inspection methods pose security risks, it said in a Wednesday statement. The software analysis "when used for malicious purposes" has potential to improperly gather sensitive data from computing devices that are operating as designed. Intel said it believes these exploits lack potential to corrupt, modify or delete data, and it's working with other systems operators to develop an industrywide approach to resolve this issue "promptly and constructively."
