NSA-Technik für Jedermann, Millionen Systeme betroffen

Betroffen ist die Firmware vieler Hersteller: Unter anderem gelang den Forschern ihr Angriff auf Systeme mit Mainboards von Dell, HP, Lenovo, Gigabyte, Acer und MSI. Da #UEFI -Systeme unterschiedlicher Hersteller oft sehr viel Firmware-Code gemeinsam haben, mussten die Forscher ihren Schadcode nur wenig anpassen und schätzen, dass Millionen von Rechnern aktuell angreifbar sind.

Well, using the EXACT same #UEFI process with a ThinkPad works just fine, but it doesn't work on my desktop at home. !Arch

takeshitakenji Arch Linux

One device has some loader .conf files empty, another device won't even be recognized and glitches the #UEFI. !Arch

So depending on which USB flash device I use, the filesystem appears to be wrong in a different way each time under the #UEFI. !Arch

Tried to set #UEFI up with !Arch; failed.
