Intel has stomped out high-severity flaws in its Next Unit Computing mini PC firmware, and in its Modular Server MFS2600KISPP Compute Module.

Discontinuation Notice for MFS2600KISPP. One of the high-severity flaws stems from a compute module used in Intel's modular server system, which is a blade system for Intel motherboards and processors first introduced in 2008.

All versions of the MFS2600KISPP compute module are affected, but Intel said that it is not releasing security updates to mitigate the bugs - instead, it will discontinue the MFS2600KISPP compute module entirely.

"Intel has issued a product-discontinuation notice for Intel Modular Server MFS2600KISPP Compute Module and recommends that users of the Intel Modular Server MFS2600KISPP Compute Module to discontinue use at their earliest convenience," according to Intel's advisory.

Intel also fixed medium-severity flaws in its PROSet/Wireless Wi-Fi software, which allows Intel Wireless or Wi-Fi devices to function properly.
