Synopsis

The remote host is running a vulnerable version of Intel Active Management Technology and is affected by a Remote Code Execution (RCE) attack vector.

Description

Versions of Intel Active Management Technology 6.x prior to 6.2.61.3535 are affected by a flaw that is triggered as it insecurely performs read and write operations.
