Intel has issued new guidance relating to SPI controllers inside multiple Intel chipsets. The configuration of the system firmware device (SPI flash) could allow an attacker to block BIOS/UEFI updates, or to selectively erase or corrupt portions of the firmware. This would most likely result in a visible malfunction, but could in rare circumstances result in arbitrary code execution.
