This package contains utilities that can be used to update the Intel Management Engine (ME) Firmware on the supported desktop models with a 786G1 system BIOS.

NOTE: The AMT 5.0 ME firmware image is only intended for HP Compaq dc7900 PC configurations. This SoftPaq does NOT include a system BIOS image. However, it is recommended that the system BIOS be updated to the latest version (1.08 or later) before upgrading the ME firmware. Once the ME firmware is updated to this new image, it CANNOT be re-flashed to an older ME AMT 5.0 firmware version.

Several methods for updating the ME firmware may be chosen. Included in this package are the following methods:

- The DOS utility updates the Intel ME firmware for the local machine in a DOS environment, and also verifies that the firmware has been updated.
- The Microsoft Windows utility updates the Intel ME firmware of the local machine in a Microsoft Windows environment, and also verifies that the firmware has been updated.

FIXES:
- Resolves a potential vulnerability where someone with physical access to the machine and expert knowledge about management applications operation could potentially gain unauthorized control over management applications.

- Resolves a potential vulnerability where someone could cause a reboot of a system running susceptible versions of Intel Active Management Technology (Intel AMT) via remote access.
