New SMM Callout Privilege Escalation Vulnerability Affects AMD Platforms

Hard doesn't mean impossible.
:( Again, nobody said it wasn't. Only a fool would! No doubt those in charge of Ft Knox would like to think it is impossible to steal all the gold there, but would they dare say it is impossible? No way! But is that really the point? No.

Of course any vulnerability is sad. But it is unrealistic to think something as complex as a computer CPU, with many billions of transistor gates in each, could be flaw-free. Humans just are not capable of that "divine" feat.

But if something is possible, that still does not mean it is probable, either - especially considering all the other security precautions and measures one must defeat to get in there (and safely back out).
