So in theory, maybe we can see a 'generic' tool or couple of them, to update affected dTPMĬan't say I'm surprised, this is all I've got so far If I remember well, ASUS only has 3-4 different TPM modules, and in principle there should be no problems in launching a tool to update only the TPM Modules themselves, without the need for a Bios Update.

I do not know to it would be viable for ASUS to upgrade all motherboards with dTPM modules, but it really should not be complicated. at least, IME was already solvied, and WPA2 too (for some/many vendors). Proof-of-concept hack vs my TPM, proof-of-concept hack vs my IME, in-the-wild hack vs my WiFi, another nasty broken new Windows build. That being said, ASUS may elect not to do so unless they consider potential liability issues too risky or too costly. But updating EOL ASUS motherboards would be optional, not required. As long as ASUS still maintains warranty on motherboards which use these TPMs they should provide active support for the latest TPM security updates. ASUS needs to update the firmware on their motherboards with TPM slots to address. Microsoft has a workaround in place, but it's not a fix. It's not accurate to say that this isn't a consumer issue, and these TPMs are certainly not only meant to be deployed in those specific enterprise platforms. HP, Lenovo, Fujitsu, etc aren't the only affected platforms, they are just the manufacturers who have acknowledged the vulnerability and are working on updating their firmware with Infineon's fix. As the OP showed above, ASUS manufactures TPMs that are vulnerable to this exploit. This is partly accurate, but I'm not sure you understand the group of affected users here. It's basically not a consumer issue and primarily affects only HP, Lenovo, Fujitsu, and WinMagic enterprise products - unless, as a consumer, you obtained an Infineon TPM meant to be deployed in these specific enterprise platforms. Specifically noted to not affect Windows Clients unless they run BitLocker, and already corrected by Microsoft in all affected consumer Windows versions except Win7 (which still needs the firmware security update). The summarized vulnerability metrics () show that this is a pre-emptive 'official fix' for a 'highly confidential' 'highly technical' 'proof-of-concept' 'low overall threat' network exploit. The exact technical details of this exploit are not public. Other types exist and some of these might have flashable firmwares. The ones I'm familiar with cannot be reflashed, by design, so there's no chance their firmware can be compromised by an attacker. The whole point is that they're unique and 'unhackable' cryptomodules, 'one-of-a-kind' keys which sometimes also contain part of the lock mechanism. It's all explained in the two links you provided. And 'the masses' aren't aware of TPMs anyhow, unless perhaps they run BitLocker, so Infineon leaves deployment of this fix to the 'OEM channels' (motherboard and laptop manufacturers) 'the masses' already know.Ĭonsumers who've obtained TPM-secured platforms through 'other OEM channels' will have to update through those same 'other OEM channels'.

The TPMs themselves cannot have their core firmware reflashed/updated, removable TPMs can be replaced, embedded TPMs stay soldered on board.

Infineon might have produced the code fix (for their Infineon TPM parts) but they do not produce firmware for motherboards. So yes, ASUS will likely lump this security update, as needed, into their subsequent BIOS updates. Which will rolled out to end users through the motherboard/platform manufacturers. The potential security vulnerability is correctable through motherboard/platform firmware updates.

hardware OEMs such as PC manufacturers).' 'Firmware updates are available for Infineon`s Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs) based on TCG specification family 1.2 and 2.0 and will be rolled out to end users by device and OS manufacturers (e.g.
