OVERVIEW

        A stack overflow issue has been identified in Intel Active Management 
        Technology (Intel AMT) Software Development Kit (SDK).


IMPACT

        The vendor has release the following information regarding this 
        issue:
        
        "The potential vulnerability in the SDK's redirection libraries 
        could allow an unauthenticated attacker to insert malicious code 
        during the redirection session establishment. Intel has released 
        a software update to the SDK for the ISVs to resolve this issue." [1]


MITIGATION

        The vendor recommends that developers of AMT management console 
        applications replace the redirection libraries from the updated SDK
        and that users of AMT management console applications contact their
        application provider to establish whether their product is affected. [1]
