Hardware from Intel, Lenovo, and Supermicro contains a remotely exploitable vulnerability due to a supply chain issue involving an open source software package used in baseboard management controllers (BMCs). The vulnerability, caused by outdated versions of lighttpd, allows for potential data exfiltration and bypassing of security mechanisms. Intel and Lenovo have no plans to release fixes as they no longer support the affected hardware, while Supermicro's affected products are still supported. The severity of the vulnerability is moderate, but users should be cautious and consider locking down BMCs when not in use.

Microsoft is facing an internal shortage of server hardware needed to run GPT-4, the new AI software made by OpenAI, which is set to power a suite of Office 365 tools. The company is rationing access to the hardware for some internal teams building other AI tools to ensure it has enough capacity to handle both Bing's new GPT-4 powered chatbot and the upcoming new Office tools. The shortage of hardware may also be affecting Microsoft customers who are experiencing long wait times to use the OpenAI software available through its Azure cloud service.
