Highlights
  • Updated Microcode to 0x6134.
  • Updated CSME firmware to 16.1.40.2765v3.
  • Added support for Gen 2 HID Keyboards.
  • Added support for the single-ROM BIOS Crisis Recovery feature.
  • Added fingerprint reader support and power control integration.
  • Fixed an issue where Battery Extender status reported incorrectly following a reboot, hibernation, or shutdown after timer expiration.
  • Fixed an issue where PROCHOT# might fail to release upon entering system sleep.
  • Remapped key event on input deck: F12 now sends KEY_CONFIG instead of KEY_MEDIA.
  • Updated thermal tables to improve system stability.
  • Security fix: CVE-2025-31648 — Improper handling of values in the microcode flow for some Intel(R) Processor Family may allow an escalation of privilege. Startup code and smm adversary with a privileged user combined with a high complexity attack may enable escalation of privilege. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are present with special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (low), integrity (low) and availability (none) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (low), integrity (low) and availability (none) impacts. (CVSS N/A)
  • Security fix: CVE-2025-27708 — Out-of-bounds read in the firmware for some Intel(R) Converged Security and Management Engine (CSME) Firmware (FW) within Ring 0: Kernel may allow an information disclosure. System software adversary with a privileged user combined with a low complexity attack may enable data exposure. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (high), integrity (none) and availability (none) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts. (CVSS N/A)
  • Security fix: CVE-2025-20080 — Null pointer dereference in the firmware for some Intel(R) AMT and Intel(R) Standard Manageability within Ring 0: Kernel may allow a denial of service. Network adversary with an unauthenticated user combined with a high complexity attack may enable denial of service. This result may potentially occur via network access when attack requirements are present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts. (CVSS N/A)
  • Security fix: CVE-2025-32008 — Out-of-bounds write in the firmware for the Intel(R) AMT and Intel(R) Standard Manageability within Ring 3: User Applications may allow a denial of service. Network adversary with an unauthenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable denial of service. This result may potentially occur via network access when attack requirements are not present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (low) impacts. (CVSS N/A)
