Comment coreboot not subject to this kind of SMM exploits (Score 1) 242

There's an open source alternative to the BIOS implementations from the usual oligopoly: coreboot. See http://www.coreboot.org/ It's noteworthy to say that coreboot is not subject to the SMM exploits we've seen lately, for several reasons: - coreboot is not using SMM if there is not a significant reason to do it. - coreboot is doing the SMM entry on the non-poisonable ASEG rather than via TSEG or HSEG. Oh, and of course you don't have to break into the code to see what it does, because we don't feel that we have to hide coreboot's weaknesses.
