From Thomas-Krenn-Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The following table shows available UEFI firmware/BIOS security updates for LGA 1151 (Skylake & Kaby Lake) motherboards from Thomas-Krenn. In the columns of the table security flaws are listed, which require UEFI firmware/BIOS updates. For each mainboard it is noted whether an update is already available for the respective vulnerability. Information about other mainboards can be found in the article BIOS security updates.

In the case of security flaws that affect the CPU microcode (e.g. Spectre or L1TF), the microcode can in many cases also be applied alternatively via the operating system.

LGA 1151 - 6th & 7th Gen

  • Processors: Skylake (6th Generation Intel Core Processor Family) / Kaby Lake (7th Generation Intel Core Processor Family)
  • SPS version: 04.01.*
  • ME version: 11.8.*
