UEFI firmware flaw threatens vast majority of world's servers

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

A newly reported code-execution vulnerability in UEFI firmware could affect most servers worldwide, according to an Ars Technica security report. UEFI is the low-level firmware that boots nearly every modern machine, meaning flaws there are hard to patch and can grant attackers deep, persistent control below the operating system. Security commentators are discussing how widespread the exposure is and how difficult remediation may be for data centers.

Why now: A firmware vulnerability affecting most servers globally has major security implications for infrastructure operators.
