Intel has issued security updates for two of its products which enterprise and expert users will want to patch as soon as possible. On paper, the
most serious of the two affects 32/64-bit versions of the Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool (IPDT), a Windows utility used to test Intel microprocessor behaviour and troubleshoot faults. Discovered by researcher Jesse Michael of firmware security company Eclypsium, the severity rating for this flaw (
CVE-2019-11133) is ‘high’, which under the industry CVSS scoring system is a notch below critical.
