UEFI firmware flaw puts most of the world's servers at risk

Original: Code-execution flaw in UEFI firmware threatens most servers on planet Earth

Security researchers have disclosed a code-execution vulnerability in UEFI firmware that could affect the vast majority of servers worldwide. Because UEFI is the low-level firmware that boots nearly every modern server, exploitation would be severe and hard to detect, and patching often requires vendor firmware updates. Ars Technica reports details of the flaw, and the disclosure is drawing broad attention as organisations assess whether their hardware and firmware versions are exposed.

Why now: A newly disclosed vulnerability affecting nearly all servers is a rare, high-impact security story that system administrators everywhere need to act on.
