OEMs are not involved at all with ME afaik, it's exculusively controlled by Intel.

OEMs have to ship ME firmware updates; Intel has no way to get them to you directly.

Can't they install an update remotely via this vulnerability? :p

No joke, this would be the best thing for everyone. Especially if we find a way to do it ourselves rather than wait for a vendor to.

I've been thinking for years about writing a virus that patches the vulnerability it used to spread as it goes.
