Intel has disclosed a whopping 34 security vulnerabilities, contained within 32 pieces of software and two kinds of firmware. The 32 software security bugs broadly impact drivers for chipsets, Wi-Fi, and other components, and also include applications such as XTU, the oneAPI Toolkit, and Intel Unison. One software and one firmware vulnerability also impact Thunderbolt — Intel recommends all users update their Thunderbolt drivers and controllers immediately.
Unlike big security issues that Intel has encountered in the past, such as last year's Downfall vulnerability, these patches are for a number of unrelated issues. Such a disclosure isn't unprecedented for Intel, and the company discloses vulnerabilities in batches once all are patched (or, at least, patched among actively-maintained software and firmware).
