I didn't see this up here so im throwin it up since its pretty important. https://www.wired.com/story/intel-management-engine-vulnerabilities-pcs-servers-iot/ "The newly disclosed vulnerabilities can cause instability or system crashes. They can be used to impersonate the ME, Server Platform Services, and Trusted Execution Engine to erode security verifications. And Intel says they can even be used to “load and execute arbitrary code outside the visibility of the user and operating system.” This is the crucial danger of the ME. If exploited, it can operate totally separate from the main computer, meaning that many ME attacks wouldn’t raise red flags." Have a nice day folks.

and only the motherboard manufactures can resolve the problem.
Does EVGA has done this?

I have bought the X99 Classified and the X99 FTW motherboards this year and was wondering it they have a patch for this problem.

3 Excerpts below (from article OP posted)
"new vulnerabilities in ME, as well as bugs in the remote server management tool Server Platform Services, and Intel’s hardware authentication tool Trusted Execution Engine."
"The researchers also play with a sinister property of the ME: It can run even when a computer is “off” (just so long as the device is plugged in), because it is on a separate microprocessor, and essentially acts as a totally separate computer."
"The good news is that most of the vulnerabilities require local access to exploit; someone has to have hands on a device or deep in a network."
So if remote admin is Off, does that make it safe ?

For what it's worth, we are aware of these reports and our engineering teams are checking with Intel to see what needs to be done, if anything. Keep in mind that the vulnerability may not necessarily affect the type (i.e. market segment) of motherboards that EVGA sells. As noted, however, we're looking into this and will provide updates when we can.

I think it only affects newer chipsets

Intel ME Firmware versions 11.0.0 through 11.7.0, SPS Firmware version 4.0, and TXE version 3.0 are impacted. So old not updated firmwares are safe and most recent (one month old motherboard):

Whats funny is this just came out this week too: https://www.extremetech.com/computing/259350-key-windows-10-antimalware-technology-critically-broken So now we have two pretty significant flaws coming out that can even be worked together to def do some damage. Win 7 is not affected though, just 8, 8.1 and 10, but that's still a lot of the computing environment out there. ” Enabling ASLR without simultaneously enabling bottom-up ASLR means that memory values are stored in exactly the same location each and every time. Here’s how CERT describes the problem: Although Windows Defender Exploit guard does have a system-wide option for system-wide bottom-up-ASLR, the default GUI value of “On by default” does not reflect the underlying registry value (unset). This causes programs without /DYNAMICBASE to get relocated, but without any entropy. The result of this is that such programs will be relocated, but to the same address every time across reboots and even across different systems. Windows 8 and newer systems that have system-wide ASLR enabled via EMET or Windows Defender Exploit Guard will have non-DYNAMICBASE applications relocated to a predictable location, thus voiding any benefit of mandatory ASLR. This can make exploitation of some classes of vulnerabilities easier. "
