(not only!) Razer laptops with serious security issue.

  • 91

Are you a Razer laptop owner? As reported by Bailey Fox in the BIOS of laptops, the Intel Manufacturing Mode has not been deactivated. As a result, the FUSE kernel module, which allows programming of the memory containing the software, was easily accessible. A hacker can upload malware and make it recognized as a part of the firmware, or attack Meltdown with a side channel.
The laptop models at risk are: Razer Blade 15 Advanced 2019 and 2018, Razer Blade 15 2018, and Razer Blade Stealth 13 2019.
