News Summary

• LogoFAIL is a vulnerability in the UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) system.
• It can be exploited to launch malicious code every time you boot your computer.
• The most likely way you end up with LogoFAIL on your hardware is if someone with admin-level access is standing at the terminal.
• The fix is already out there, but no one upgrades their UEFI firmware frequently enough to receive it..
• Intel patched its Management Engine back in December 2023, not long after the issue was revealed.
• AMD followed suit almost immediately, but most systems didn't start really implementing the fix until the next update landed in April 2024.
