That is not a source that confirms SemiAccurate's claims, it's a nearly decade-old paper (~2008-2009) describing an attack against a completely different security feature. The "System Management Mode" described and attacked in the paper is unrelated to Intel ME.
What is the publication date of this?
Initial confirmation below, I haven't read it through in full yet. I believe technical details are being delayed;

>The details of our new SMM attacks will be made available once Intel patches its firmware, most likely we will present them at the Black Hat USA conference in summer 2009. We will also make the code of our TXT exploit available.
