Intel: Driver flaws no major threat--yet
,----[ Quote ]
| Flaws in driver software may be worrisome and a potentially serious
| threat, but security experts at Intel see no need for alarm. At least,
| not yet.
|
| In a recent experiment, researchers at the Santa Clara, Calif.-based
| chipmaker searched for publicly known vulnerabilities in drivers for
| Microsoft's Windows operating system. They also hunted for malicious
| code that took advantage of those security holes. In particular, they
| wanted to find problems in kernel-level drivers and exploits that would
| give an attacker full rein over a vulnerable system.
