G7 7700, Intel Management Engine Security Vulnerability
Hello,
I received an new G7 7700 and have run the Intel CSME Tool out of interest if my new laptop is up to date.
The G7 7700 is currently on BIOS 1.8.0. Apparently Dell has not updated the Intel Management Engine firmware in this latest BIOS as the CSME tool is reporting my system as vulnerable. Now my question is when Dell will issue a fix for this?

We have evaluated this issue and believe that the Intel tool is associating this issue with Intel Security Advisory INTEL-SA-00459. INTEL-SA-00459 was disclosed as part of the Intel IPU 2021.1 disclosure on June 8. Dell is actively rolling out updates to address this Intel advisory, now through end July, as described in Dell Security Advisory DSA-2021-116.
As referenced in DSA-2021-116, the ETA for the Dell G7 7700 updated BIOS is 6/30/2021.
