@Fishtown , perhaps Medion has an EC and BIOS update?   In CLEVO repositories, for the same system (without Medion's OEM branding), updates do exist, but they cannot be applied directly (they lack Medion's OEM flag).   Could we check this, please? ... Afficher plus

Yes, @Fishtown , I have already tried everything possible via Updates and the Microsoft Store. In fact, latest DBX updates tend to come via Windows Update. At this point the only way I "could fix" the issue would be to compile an updated version of the firmware, CSME and UEFI myself and reprogram the BIOS IC. But I’m not Medion/Clevo, so I don’t have easy access to the latest updates, and I don’t want to void my warranty. So my question is: Is there any BIOS/firmware update beyond 1.07.02RME1 for this model? And is there any way to obtain a full BIOS configuration utility? Thanks in advance. ... Afficher plus

I wish to elaborate on the reasons I am requesting a BIOS and firmware update, with the possibility of having an advanced, unlocked BIOS to address these issues properly.   I must emphasise that under Linux it is possible to mitigate these problems without requiring BIOS/firmware access or updates, but for Windows users the situation is markedly different and solutions rely exclusively on updated and available firmware.   I apologise in advance for the length of this message:     My System Configuration: Windows 11 25H2 (latest updates applied) SecureBoot enabled ---   1.

Speculation Control Settings: Disabled Security Mitigations The Microsoft SpeculationControl module reveals that several CPU vulnerability mitigations are disabled due to firmware configuration issues: > powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "Import-Module SpeculationControl; Get-SpeculationControlSettings" For more information about the output below, please refer to https://support.microsoft.com/help/4074629 Speculation control settings for CVE-2017-5715 [branch target injection] Hardware support for branch target injection mitigation is present: True Windows OS support for branch target injection mitigation is present: True Windows OS support for branch target injection mitigation is enabled: True Speculation control settings for CVE-2017-5754 [rogue data cache load] Hardware is vulnerable to rogue data cache load: False Hardware requires kernel VA shadowing: False Speculation control settings for CVE-2018-3639 [speculative store bypass] Hardware is vulnerable to speculative store bypass: True Hardware support for speculative store bypass disable is present: True Windows OS support for speculative store bypass disable is present: True Windows OS support for speculative store bypass disable is enabled system-wide: False Speculation control settings for CVE-2018-3620 [L1 terminal fault] Hardware is vulnerable to L1 terminal fault: False Speculation control settings for MDS [microarchitectural data sampling] Windows OS support for MDS mitigation is present: True Hardware is vulnerable to MDS: False Speculation control settings for SBDR [shared buffers data read] Windows OS support for SBDR mitigation is present: True Hardware is vulnerable to SBDR: False Speculation control settings for FBSDP [fill buffer stale data propagator] Windows OS support for FBSDP mitigation is present: True Hardware is vulnerable to FBSDP: False Speculation control settings for PSDP [primary stale data propagator] Windows OS support for PSDP mitigation is present: True Hardware is vulnerable to PSDP: False BTIHardwarePresent : True BTIWindowsSupportPresent : True BTIWindowsSupportEnabled : True BTIDisabledBySystemPolicy : False BTIDisabledByNoHardwareSupport : False BTIKernelRetpolineEnabled : False BTIKernelImportOptimizationEnabled : True RdclHardwareProtectedReported : True RdclHardwareProtected : True KVAShadowRequired : False KVAShadowWindowsSupportPresent : True KVAShadowWindowsSupportEnabled : False KVAShadowPcidEnabled : False SSBDWindowsSupportPresent : True SSBDHardwareVulnerable : True SSBDHardwarePresent : True SSBDWindowsSupportEnabledSystemWide : False L1TFHardwareVulnerable : False L1TFWindowsSupportPresent : True L1TFWindowsSupportEnabled : False L1TFInvalidPteBit : 0 L1DFlushSupported : True HvL1tfStatusAvailable : True HvL1tfProcessorNotAffected : True MDSWindowsSupportPresent : True MDSHardwareVulnerable : False MDSWindowsSupportEnabled : False FBClearWindowsSupportPresent : True SBDRSSDPHardwareVulnerable : False FBSDPHardwareVulnerable : False PSDPHardwareVulnerable : False FBClearWindowsSupportEnabled : False BhbEnabled : False BhbDisabledSystemPolicy : True BhbDisabledNoHardwareSupport : False BranchConfusionReported : True BranchConfusionStatus : SYSTEM_SPECULATION_CONTROL_BRANCH_CONFUSION_MITIGATED GdsReported : True GdsStatus : SYSTEM_SPECULATION_CONTROL_GDS_MITIGATION_UNSUPPORTED SrsoReported : True SrsoStatus : SYSTEM_SPECULATION_CONTROL_SRSO_HARDWARE_IMMUNE DivideByZeroReported : True DivideByZeroStatus : SYSTEM_SPECULATION_CONTROL_DIVIDE_BY_ZERO_HARDWARE_IMMUNE RfdsReported : True RfdsStatus : SYSTEM_SPECULATION_CONTROL_RFDS_MITIGATION_UNSUPPORTED Critical findings: CVE-2018-3639 (Speculative Store Bypass): The hardware is vulnerable, hardware support for mitigation is present, but SSBDWindowsSupportEnabledSystemWide: False — the mitigation is disabled system-wide due to firmware constraints. Several mitigation features remain unsupported or disabled, leaving the system exposed to known vulnerabilities.   Conclusion In essence, having a locked BIOS (with minimal configuration options) and outdated firmware, certain bugs and impediments prevent me from: Using Intel TXT Enabling CSME Measured Boot to TPM Applying SecureBoot DBX updates Activating system-wide Speculative Store Bypass Disable (SSBD) mitigation Enabling various CPU vulnerability mitigations properly Accessing advanced security features that require firmware support   I trust I have adequately explained the reasons for my request and hope to obtain an update in line with what has been requested.
