My Intel Desktop Board DB75EN is affected by the AMT vulnerability.
I found a firmware update here:
Intel® Active Management Technology Escalation of Privilege Advisory...
However, when I try to install it, I encounter two problems.
First: I'm running Linux -- and the firmware update utility runs on Windows only. So is there also a utility available to update the FW under Linux?
As a workaround, I created a Windows 10 Recovery Drive (on a USB stick) and copied the update to that USB stick. I then booted the PC using that USB stick and tried to run the firmware update from within that Windows Recovery (WinPE) environment. I then got the following output:
D:\EN-FW-Update\EN-FW-Update-64bit>FWUpdLcl64.exe -f ME8_5M_Production.bin -generic
Intel (R) Firmware Update Utility Version: 8.1.40.1456

Error 8743: Unknown or Unsupported Platform

This program cannot be run on the current platform.
Any idea why this does not work? And how to resolve it?
