These centred on the apparent difficulty in provisioning Intel AMT to endpoint devices and the management of some use cases such as remote wake-up and remote KVM. Such difficulties might easily arise when attempting to activate Intel AMT on new machines that may have been delivered to remote branch offices with no IT staff on-site, for example, or to workers that are connecting to the corporate network from outside the firewall. To address these issues, Intel has extended the Intel vPro® platform with a new software service known as Intel® Endpoint Management Assistant, which builds on and modernises the capabilities of Intel® AMT. Intel® EMA has been designed as a cloud-based point of control for managing endpoint devices wherever they may be, inside and outside the corporate firewall.
The critical flaws exist in Intel's Active Management Technology, which is used for remote out-of-band management of personal computers. The two critical flaws exist in the IPv6 subsystem of AMT. The flaws could potentially enable an unauthenticated user to gain elevated privileges via network access.
